Welcome to Our New
Network: This New Year, Penn Area Library is happy to
announce our inclusion in the Westmoreland Integrated Network.
You may have noticed changes to the look of the online
catalog. In late fall, a transition took place with our
migration to the Polaris Library System.
What this means for our patrons is that all of
the resources of the Westmoreland County Federated Library
System are now accessible, 24/7! Your Penn Area Library
card will be recognized at all libraries in the county, and
remote access is available through your Polaris account to place
holds, renew items, build a reading list, and pay fines. E-mail
notifications are now available for requests, due date
reminders, and overdue notices. Our Penn Area Library patrons
remain first on the holds list for all Penn Area Library items.
Call the library at 724-744-4414 for more information. Our great
staff members will be happy to help.
To set up your Polaris Account:
Use your library barcode number as id, and the last four digits
of your phone number as your password.

Reading Rescue --
A Monthly Article of
Featured
Selections: With the newness of
Spring, we thought we'd turn our focus to authors' debut novels
for our April selections – two newly published, one newly
discovered. A western adventure, a suspense/thriller and a
magical, haunting take on a Russian fairy tale…maybe you'll find
a new favorite among these.
Read
this month's Reading Rescue article to see our featured selections
for April.
