April is National Poetry Month AND School Library Month!
April 1-30th is National Poetry Month and we look forward to celebrating some of our favorite authors and poets! We love reading through poetry anthologies and novels in verse!
April 1-30th is also School Library Month! All month long we'll be busting myths around school libraries.

March In Review
Library Open After School for April
In an effort to be available to students for a place to catch a break, print, check out books or do work, we will remain open after school until 11:30am for the month of April. Students should plan to sign in at the front by the hand sanitizer station AND again when they sit down.
SAT and ACT Test Prep Kits Are Here!
We're excited to bring ACT and SAT test preparation kits to The Park! We'll start off with two ACT kits and two SAT kits to gauge interest and usage and build from there. Kits will be available to checkout from the PHS Media Center Circulation desk for 3 weeks at a time.
Each kit will come in a zipped canvas tote and include the following:
- Kaplan Study Guide
- Barron Flash Cards
- Graphing Calculator
- Timer
- Practice Tests
- Test taking tips
