The books are wrapped and ready for you to pick up an checkout! Once you've checked out your book, you're welcome to unwrap it and give it a whirl. This is a great way to step outside of your normal genres and try something new.

Many of our students are working on argumentative or persuasive essays. Researching for this can prove difficult to find reliable and safe resources. Checkout the Research Guide that I've put together in an effort to currate MeL databases and websites.

Those of you considering College after High School might be thinking about the various College Admissions Tests (ACT, SAT, AP, TOEFL iBET, IELTS and Admissions Essay Writing) that you'll need to take and what you need to score.

Did you know that MeL provides access to LearningExpress Library College Admissions Test Prep Materials free of charge?

Students are welcome to come to the library on their lunch to work on computers, study and relax as quiet alternative to the cafeteria. Students are welcome to bring their lunch and can eat at any of the tables!

To help keep lunch in the PHS Library a great thing for everyone, please remember...

• Clean up after yourself. There are two large trash cans by the front doors.
  
• No food at the computers. This helps keep our labs clean and functional.
• Be mindful of volume. A productive hum is fabulous! To maintain the integrity of a quiet alternative to the cafeteria, please use indoor voices.

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
