We are excited to introduce a brand-new printing service that makes printing at your local library easier than ever. Whether you’re using a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, you can send your print job securely to our printers and collect it from any library within 24-hours.
You can print from your own device at home, on the move or in the library, giving you the flexibility to manage your prints as needed. If you print from home or on the move we recommend that you bring your device with you to the library when you collect your printing, as it may be needed to resolve print or document issues.
Print Your Way is available to anyone with full library membership. If you’re not yet a library member or you have a digital library membership only, it is easy to sign up for full library membership by visiting your local library and speaking to library staff.
How to use the Print Your Way service
1. Make sure you’re a full library member
If you’re not already a full library member, visit a library to sign up for full membership with library staff. Take your device with you to the library if you wish to use Print Your Way as soon as your library membership is activated.
Don’t forget your library card
It is required at the self-service kiosk and printer. A high-quality photo of your card can be used
2. Pay for your printing
Print Your Way is paid from your Papercut account which can be topped up at a self-service kiosk in any Worcestershire library.
After initial activation of your Papercut account on a self-service kiosk, if you are printing remotely you can top up your Papercut account when you arrive at the library.
Check available top-up payment methods at your library before visiting
Some self-service kiosks do not accept card payments. Find your local library.
