Community library cards can be issued to all Virginia residents, including alumni. Please see the Community Users brochure for more information.
When individuals come to Greenwood Library or use Longwood’s LancerNet Visitor Wifi, they have access to all our databases/e-resources.
For access from home, Virginia residents can register for an online account with the Library of Virginia: https://www.lva.virginia.gov/about/policies/register_va.htm. This allows users to access not only the Library’s catalog, but many digital resources, including things like JSTOR, NexisUni, and ProQuest Historical Newspapers. If alumni move out of Virginia, most state libraries have similar offerings for all state residents.
Some database access is available through the Central Virginia Regional Library in Farmville, and the same goes for most public libraries. Residents of Prince Edward County and surrounding counties can get a library card there.
Greenwood Library at Longwood University serves as a resource for materials not usually available in local school libraries.
Greenwood Library welcomes tours and class visits from local schools. A teacher or library media specialist must accompany and remain with the group. Tours and class visits are available by appointment and will consist of a general introduction to Library facilities and services. Due to Longwood student usage, tours and class visits are not available during the first and last four weeks of the Fall and Spring semesters. Please see Longwood’s academic calendar for current dates.
