If a student does not have the barcode number, they can come into the library and obtain a barcode from the library staff. This barcode number will allow students to place a hold on books at any 40 YLN libraries in Yavapai County; including Yavapai College Library and, Embry Riddle Aeronautical Library, and Prescott Public Library. A requested book will automatically be sent to the PHS library and the library staff will notify a student when a book from another library has arrived at PHS by sending a hold slip to their classroom. Please be sure to contact the library staff if you have difficulty getting through to this web site.
