The PHS Library
and Media Center is the information hub of our beautiful new campus. Since all
textbooks, library books, and teachers’ editions circulate through the library,
it is the indispensable resource center for students and staff. The library has
a book collection of over 18,000 volumes, numerous magazines and newspapers,
and countless online resources available on the library computers. Students and
staff can check out books for recreational reading or research projects. The
non-fiction collection is designed to support the school curriculum and
contains a great variety of books specifically selected to provide information
that is useful for students’ research projects.
The library computers are the gateway to Destiny, our library catalog,
the Internet, and Microsoft Office tools for creating a variety of documents.
Come “check it out.”
