The South Bowie branch, the newest library in the county, opened in October 2012. PGCMLS also provides library service at the County Correctional Center Previously the library headquarters were in Hyattsville, adjacent to the Hyattsville Library.[3] History and organizationThe Library System was established in 1946 “...as a living memorial to those who have made the supreme sacrifice and a testimonial to all those who served in wars.” The Laurel Branch was the first library to become part of the System, and the first county-built library was the Hyattsville Branch which housed the Library’s Administrative Offices until 2015. In June of that year, the Administrative Offices were moved the Largo-Kettering Branch.[4] PGCMLS is governed by a Board of Library Trustees, appointed by the County Executive and approved by the County Council. Community programs and servicesSome of the services offered by the Prince George's County Memorial Library System are: print, audio, video and electronic materials, storytimes and early literacy programs, programs for teens, book discussions, the Summer Reading Program, author readings and presentations, public PCs and wireless access, electronic databases, outreach services, special needs services, meeting rooms, and volunteer opportunities. Non-resident library privilegesThe library system is part of the Maryland Consolidated Library System, which provides that any person who is a resident of the State of Maryland may obtain a library card at no charge at any county library or Baltimore City. This privilege is also available to non-residents who work for an employer in Maryland or pay property taxes there. A person may apply for a card from any library system in the state, or choose to authorize a card from any other library system in the state on that system. Non-residents who do not qualify may obtain a library card for a fee of $50 a year. An exception is made for residents of nearby jurisdictions outside of Maryland who will grant free library privileges to county residents, in which case the library will reciprocate. Thus, residents of the District of Columbia as well as the residents of the cities of Alexandria, Falls Church, and Fairfax, as well as the counties of Arlington and Fairfax in Virginia may obtain library cards at no charge.
