We are here to serve students in the Pottsville School District in grades 6 through 8 with access to reading material, research tools, makerspace learning, and content specific inquiries as suggested by our teachers and students. We hope you find our website informative, however, we would love to see you in the library!

Want to help make a difference for our Jr. High students? We have amazing support from our administration, but there are so many things that we could support our students with that might be something hanging around your house OR you might be able to donate items that will spark even more student interaction and learning.
We will have an ongoing AMAZON WISH LIST that is available for you to access and see what students could benefit from in our media center. Here is the link to one of the lists:
Click above to visit the BOX TOPS for EDUCATION site to help support our library and students at PJHS.
You can also LINK your WALMART account directly with our schools box tops account - win/win and your child and all PJHS students benefit!
Two times this year - all students parents grandparents, and teachers will have the opportunity to participate in the book fair shenanigans.
Have a resource beyond the simple - we will take all donations for gift cards, candy for prize incentives, coffee supplies (all kinds), and more as we figure out and plan our Reading Parties this year.
Students can come to the library (max # of students cannot be exceeded) and purchase a small cup of coffee - with limitations. Must only drink in the library with cups purchased in there. Do not ask to take out of the library.
NEW SCHEDULE FOR COMING YEAR!
English classes will rotate and come to the library every other week. Math, Science, and History will alternate the open weeks for a consistent rotation of students coming to the library at least one day a week.
7th grade on Mondays, 8th on Tuesdays, and 6th grade on Wednesdays.
ATTENTION ALL TEACHERS!!
The plan is to have open library every day for check in/out, and scheduled classes for activities and lessons that teachers would like to utilize the library for in your specific curriculum. How can we support your plans and class? Collaboration is our SuperPower!
For instance, need more space to complete a stations activity? We will have the space for you and you can benefit from our resources as well. How about a chance to practice problem solving skills? We can develop lessons together or you can bring what you would like to do and I will assist however you need me. Your wish is my command! I'd like to be your little fairy godmother/teacher friend that will help you and our students have a successful learning experience. We will also hit the standards related to research and technology use on a regular basis in addition to encouraging reading and meeting those reading goals.
