HSLC is providing one year of advance notice that the annual Access PA / POWER Library technology support fee will increase by approximately 10% effective with fiscal year 2022-2023. This is the first increase in the support fee rates since 2009. Participants currently paying $230 per year will pay $250, and participants that pay $295 per year will pay $325. If your school serves an economically distressed community, and receives a discount on your annual fee, the same discount will be applied to the new amount. We realize your budgeting process for 2021-2022 is in process, or may have closed, so we hope this advance notice will be sufficient to make the necessary adjustments for the following year. Please do not hesitate to reach out to support with any questions.

POWER Library support fee invoices for 2021-2022 were mailed on April 2, 2021. Payment is not due until July to accommodate schools that must pay for services in the fiscal year they occur. However, for those that can do so, payments before July are appreciated as they enable HSLC to continue providing POWER Library services while the Commonwealth works through its budget process.

If you represent a school library, and you have not received your invoice, it was likely directed to your district administration office. Most districts prefer to pay all school invoices together.  Feel free to contact HSLC to inquire where your invoice was mailed, or to request for a duplicate to be emailed directly to your attention.
