PTHS Library
The library is open daily from 7:55 a.m. to 2:25 p.m. Students may come in at break or on passes during the day for book checkouts, research or for a quiet place to study. Teachers also reserve library times for their classrooms. The library currently has a collection of over 7,000 book titles. We currently subscribe to 25 magazines and four newspapers. There are 30 networked eMac’s in the library for student research and word processing. We also have tutoring programs which use the library after school hours. Our beautiful library has a stellar view and a friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, library aide, Jeanette Parker. Stop by for a visit. |
