About Our Library 

 Our library has been around since 1929-30. Due to several remodelings, the design and location have changed a few times. Today our library is better than ever! When you're ready, just scroll down and have a look.

 Our Mission

 The Mission of the North High School Media Center is to have a warm, welcoming environment that provides educational resources and materials that support learning and inspire reading. We want to ensure that staff, students and families benefit from all that the NHS Library Media Center has to offer.

********

 Assistance From Your Library Staff

 The purpose of The North High Library Media Center Staff is to provide resources, equipment, accommodations, and support students, parents, teachers, and other school staff. The North High Library Media Center, like all libraries, has policies and procedures that allow the library to function for the benefit of all its customers.

Textbooks, Library Books and Space to Relax. 

 When you visit the library you will see that it is a great place to get help with your school work and for fun. You can come to the library and there will always be someone there to help you find what you want. You can ask us to help you find textbooks or books about most subjects that interest you, as well as help you locate information on a computer.

 The library is also a great place if you want a place to read or study. We have areas with cozy chairs where you can curl up and read a book or there are tables and chairs where you can work on school reports.

Artwork

 You will see beautiful artwork throughout the library by various artists. As you enter the library you will see  a large round mosaic piece and a wooded Native American Indian sitting in a canoe. This is the work of artist and sculptor, Blackbear Bosin, who was the creator of one of the most well-known sculptures in Kansas- The Keeper of the Plains. We are so honored to be able to display his incredible artwork in the NHS Library.

Hall of Fame Wall

 The North High Hall Of Fame was established in October 2005 in conjunction with North High’s 75th anniversary celebration.

******** 

Alumni Author's Book Display

 We also have an area where we have a collection of North High Alumni authors. One of the authors showcased in the Alumni Author section, is a teacher, Ashton Pacholski, who is presently teaching Language Arts here at North High. Mr. Pacholski wrote a book of poetry called “Seasons”.

(Click on the “Breaking News” tab for more information about his book.)

Displays

 Every month we have new displays throughout our library. One of the displays often showcased is our "TRADITIONS" display.

   ********

Old  Artifacts

 Many years ago, North High was given some very delicate pieces of old pottery. They are now housed in a display case to prevent damage. A few of the pieces have remarkably withstood the test of time.

  ********

Student Wall Art

  On our walls, we have a few different areas around the library of artwork that was created by North High Students. You would be amazed by the talent that comes from our school.
