2022 In Review

It would seem that the first half of our school year was full of reading! From September through December, Plymouth High School Library checked out 1206 print books and 837 eBooks/audiobooks - way to go!


Take a look at the Top 10 Checkouts of the school year so far! We'll have these books on display if you'd like to pick one up as a choice read for the next semester. Don't forget you have access to eBooks/Audiobooks on Sora!

Cozy up with a book this month!

Break is over, finals are coming and it's cold outside. January is a wonderful time to make space for a book to snuggle down with. With the option to checkout print materials, eBooks, audiobooks or digital magazines and comics, there really is something for everyone!


Throughout the library, you'll find displays filled with some of our favorite cozy reads. As always, anything on display is available to be checked out.

PHS LIBRARY BOOK PURCHASE REQUEST

Seeking Tissue Donations!

The Plymouth High School Library is seeking donations of unopened tissue! With colds, flu and other germs going around the demand for a tissue has gone way up. The only way that we're able to provide students with a tissue in the library is through donation.


Feel free to send in boxes of unopened facial tissue and drop them off at the circulation desk! Student noses everywhere will thank you for it!

Help Finding a Book for Choice Reading

Life is too short to read a book you aren't interested in or enjoying! If you've been given the opportunity to pick your own Choice Reading book for class or are looking to read outside of school but don't know where to start, check out these resources!



  • Your Librarian is an excellent resource and reading wizard! Be it your school librarian or public librarian they'll be happy to help guide you towards a book that you'll love. That being said, email ME! I'll want to know what the last thing that you listened to, read or watched was and LOVED. That will help me match you up with some solid options.
