POWER Library Annual Technology Support Fee Payment Due July 16

Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who has already paid for 24-25! These payments help HSLC cover costs during the transition from one fiscal year to the next while we await Library Access funding appropriations.

Did you know?
The Access Pennsylvania and POWER Library programs are underwritten with Pennsylvania Department of Education and Federal grant funding. These funds cover most of the resources (staff, networks, hardware, and software) used to offer these services at no cost to Pennsylvania taxpayers. PDE, through the Office of Commonwealth Libraries, contracts with HSLC for basic services that comprise the Access PA/POWER Library programs. HSLC charges an annual technology support fee to provide enhanced support, training, and custom programming for participating libraries. Technology support fees also underwrite costs to administer the grant, capital expenses for new hardware, and other unbudgeted expenses in support of the Access PA/POWER Library program.

Attention: Schools
Please note that for schools, invoices were mostly mailed to the district office for consolidated payment. If you need a copy of your invoice, please contact HSLC support at support@hslc.org.

We accept payments online
Please note that the fee may be paid via credit card on the HSLC website at: https://hslc.org/power-participants/payments/
