From the BLA Library:
The library is piloting a new technique for printing. We have set up a “Print Kiosk” handled by the library volunteers. Students must save their work on a “thumb drive or flash drive” and then give it to a library staff for printing. The library has several thumb drives to loan. This method will avoid printing unnecessary things. Also, it should save a lot of toner and paper.
It is recommended that students purchase a thumb or flash drive to save your work on. They are sold at any store that sells technology equipment, like Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, Office Max, or Staples. If there are any parents wishing to donate something to the school library, this may be a good option! Thanks!
