LIBRARY AT HOME
Prescott High School students with access to the Internet at home have the opportunity to use the PHS library electronic card catalog after the library closes at 4:00 p.m. Students wishing to search through the contents of the library collection may direct their computer browser to

phs#focusfocusfocus. All students should have a 14 digit barcode number on the back of their student id cards. If they do not have the barcode number, they can come into the library and we give them one. This barcode number will allow them to place holds on books at any library in Yavapai County, inlcuding the universities in our area. The book will automatically be sent to the PHS library and the library staff will notify the student 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.
