Book purchases are influenced in a number of ways. We always purchase the FAME Florida Teens Read selections. Additionally, we are a ProjectLIT Community Chapter, so those books are purchased. Finally, we take staff and student requests. Most often those requests are made in person. We also have an online form available on the PRHS Media Center website. It is made clear to individuals requesting in person and on the site that a request is not a guarantee of purchase. Book purchases are presented to the School Media Advisory Council. If there are no objections, the books are purchased for circulation. Here is the link to the request form. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfmU3AH1gtcMlsyXXeo8V7U0wXUvDX1YAEBe8CUdk2O9MD8Fw/viewform
Additionally, we are a Title I school. Because of this, we received a grant for over $20,000 worth of books. This will help us update the age of our collection and will increase the book/student ratio.
