The philosophy behind the Pleasant Hills Middle School (PHMS) library is the belief that both students and faculty are entitled to the very best of print and non-print resources we are able to provide at the time of need.  With these resources, each will be able to confidently pursue individual and academic growth through educational research and recreational reading.

The PHMS library consists of 12,394 books, a daily subscription to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and a variety of periodicals.  There are, at present, eight computers with Internet connections available for use by students and faculty.  The computers contain Power Library that is a subscription to on-line databases provided by the state of Pennsylvania.  All reading classes in grades 6, 7, and 8 come to the library every two weeks to return and select new books.  Students may also use the on-line card catalog from each computer.
