If you do not have the ability to print, you can save your confirmation on your mobile device and use that as proof of reservation to pick up the physical pass.

How to print downloadable passes:
If you did not receive an email confirmation with the pass or lost the email, you can retrieve your reservations through the booking site with your library card number. To view your reservations, go to the library reservation system site, click “My Account” in the upper right hand corner of the screen, and enter in your library card number.
