Libby/Overdrive PIN Verification

Due to recent technical issues with our Libby/Overdrive service, MRSPL cardholders may need to re-verify their PIN/password in Libby. If prompted to verify your MRSPL card, try using the 10-digit phone number (no dashes or spaces) that we have on file in your library account as your PIN/password. If you have set a custom password/PIN, use that custom PIN/password in Libby. If you continue to have issues re-verifying, or need to reset your password, please contact the library at 703-248-5031 (TTY 711) or consult our password reset instructions.

Did you know the library is always getting new books? Awesome, right? But it can be pretty hard to choose from so many new books. Don't worry, we have your back. 

Join us for an hour of sampling new chapter books! A librarian will read aloud the first chapter of a few new chapter books to help you decide if you want to check it out! The number of books we try out will depend on the length of the chapter and the amount of discussion. 

Grown-ups! Did you know reading aloud to children even after they have started reading on their own has benefits?

  • Models fluency
  • Adds emotional context through voice inflection
  • Shows kids that adults read for fun, too!

The books read during Chapter One Book Club are chapter books. The publisher recommended reading levels for these books range between grades 3-7. However, all families with children in grades K-8 are welcome to join.
