Move Your Print Money!

As most of you know, the library has moved away from our old print card system to a new print system with accounts.  At the end of this semester, the card readers in our change machines will be removed.  So, if you still have money on either a PC Print card or your Student ID card, come by the library before the end of the semester to transfer that money to your account.  Simply log into the Add Value Stations with your user name and password (same user name and password as your student email account), insert your card, and choose to transfer the money from your card to your account.  If you have any problems, please ask a staff member for assistance.
