<h1>Printing</h1>
<p>Printing is available at all of our libraries, as well as scanning documents and photocopying. You will need a library card which you need&nbsp;to activate&nbsp;first on the printing devices.</p>
<p>If you have supplied an email at registration, you can also use our new<strong>&nbsp;email to print facility&nbsp;</strong>without the need of using one of the public computers and securely collect your prints at any branch.</p>
<p>To use the email to print, simply attach your file and send it from your&nbsp;<strong>registered email&nbsp;</strong>to:</p>
<ul style="list-style-type: none;">
<li style="list-style-type: square;">Black and white print:&nbsp;<a href="mailto:librarymonoprinting@haringey.gov.uk">librarymonoprinting@</a><a href="mailto:librarymonoprinting@haringey.gov.uk">haringey.gov.uk</a></li>

</ul>
<p>Please ensure you have enough credit on your account before sending files to print. An email will be sent back to confirm when files are ready to be collected. You will need to swipe your card, so please make sure you have it with you when you collect your print files.&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can speak to a member of staff if you need further guidance.</p>
