The PHS library is in dire need of updating and we need our community's help!
How to help? Choose from the following options...
1)(MY PREFERENCE!) Pick out a specific book from the following list and send cash
or check to cover its cost. The library will then order that exact
book for its collection!

We believe that it is truly important that the students see the
interest the community takes in their education, and so it would be our
honor to place a bookplate in the front of the book that you donate, stating your name (or your student's name).
