News   

The Prescott Valley Public Library encourages parents to guide their children's reading with age-appropriate content and information to help them get the best out of their library experience.

Library cards are issued to minors under the age of 16 with a parent or legal guardian present and we list the name of this adult on the child’s card. For individuals over 16 years old, we mail a letter to the parent or legal guardian, who is financially responsible for materials checked out under the minor's card. For the safety and privacy of patrons, we can only give out account information to the guardians listed on the account.

Parents can access their child’s library account 24/7 with our online catalog by using the "Your Account" link in the catalog menu and signing in with the library barcode number and PIN. The PIN is assigned when you receive your card and can be modified at any time. Parents can also request a list of current items checked out on the card at the Information Desk or Children’s Desk.

Prescott Valley Public Library will be closed December 23rd-26th (Friday-Monday). We will reopen on Tuesday, December 27th.
