Please visit archive.mrspl.org to access photos, death notices, and many other materials from our FCHR collection. Or contact us to schedule an appointment to access the room. Thank you!
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.
