  • Welcome to the Murphy Middle School Library! As a middle school student, you may use the library for book exchange, research, homework assistance, as a reading space, and more. The library is open during the school day to study, read, check out and return books. I am so glad you are visiting! This website is meant to be 24/7 access to information about the library, its programs, and its resources. I am here to serve you and welcome questions and suggestions.
