Access PA / POWER Library Fee Increase for 2022-2023

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. Please do not hesitate to reach out to support with any questions.
