PHS Library Update

November is recognized as Native American Heritage and Family Story Month. We're shaped by these stories. Sharing our own story and hearing the stories of others can help build understanding and empathy.

This month you'll find a number of anthologies, biographies and memoirs on display throughout the library! This diverse compellation of books is meant to help you find a story you relate to or find one that you've not heard before!

As always, anything on display is available to be checked out.

If you've been in the library recently, you've probably noticed that Lab A has disappeared!

Over the last year there has been a higher demand for somewhere to sit and work on a 1:1 device and less of a demand for desktop computers. With finite space, we asked Technology to remove the lab to allow us to create a flexible, collaborative workspace.

Many of you have stopped by to inquire about the district 1:1 Take Home Program. For more information and to begin the process to request a Chromebook, checkout the PCCS Digital Learning Hub!.

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.

• Project Lit is a grassroots Twitter movement to push for more diverse and representative reading in young adult literature. Twice a year, they announce the newest list of Project Lit picks by age group and book clubs around the country read and discuss! Check out our chapter on Twitter @ProjectLITPCCS

• Checkout book review sites like School Library Journal, Kirkus, BookRiot!
