NEW!!! Update On Holds Fee
The library has decided to hold off on instituting the $0.25 fee for holds until September 1, 2010.
FROM THAT DATE FORWARD, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WILL AUTOMATICALLY PLACE THIS FEE ON YOUR RECORD FOR ANY HOLD THAT IS FILLED FOR YOU.
The $3.00 fee for Inter Library Loans (ILL) is already in effect and is not affected by this change.

Password Needed to Login
To the Library Catalog and Telephone Renewal
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
If you need a copy of "My List" from our old catalog, please e-mail us!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The Prince William Public Library System launched a new computer system April 22nd. The new system now requires a 4-digit password in addition to the user's 14-digit library card number to log in, renew items and place requests. A default, termporary password (the last 4 digits of your library barcode number) has been provided to all users. We encourage you to change this temporary password as soon as possible, either through the library catalog or by asking a staff member to do so when you next visit the library.
If you used the "My List" feature in our old library catalog, please e-mail us with your name, library barcode number and e-mail address. Until July 1st, we will be able to pull your list and e-mail it to you! After July 1st, we will not be able to retrieve any lists from our "old" library catalog.
Due to ongoing budget challenges, two new library fees are being are being put into effect:
Hold Requests: 25 cents per request. You will need to agree to the fee before your hold is placed. This fee will not be charged to your account until you are notified that the item is ready for pick-up.
Interlibrary Loan Requests: $3.00 per request. This fee helps to recover some of the costs of obtaining titles from public, academic, and special libraries throughout the country. This fee will not be charged to your account until you are notified that your ILL item is ready for pick-up.
