  • Any items that require a web URL, such as boarding passes, Facebook pages, encrypted pages, Google Docs, etc., will need to be downloaded or converted to an image or pdf before sending. Please see a librarian if you need assistance.

Note to Mac users: If your document was created using Mac-specific software, such as the iWork suite, you will need to save the document in a Microsoft format in order to print it. How do I do that for PagesNumbersKeynote?
