March Madness 2024

The PHS library has kicked off March Madness again! The 16 selected books this year are representative of the top check outs since the begining of the school year at Plymouth. Any student or staff member at PCEP can vote weekly on which ones should move up to the next round.

Lunch in the PHS Library

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.

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.


  • Project Lit is a grassroots Twitter movement to push for more diverse and representative reading in young adult literature.
