Student Access Project
The easier way for Pitt County Schools students to access library books, computers, and online resources. Every PCS student has a special Farmville Public Library account, which allows students to use their student ID number instead of a traditional library card. Students may bring their student ID number to the library to check out or access materials, or library staff will gladly look up their account number for them. For online resources that require a pin number, students can use the last 4 digits of their student ID number as their pin. PCS student files will be updated quarterly to ensure up-to-date records and parents can opt out at any time.
