As we transition the high school library into a space for our technology and robotics classes, we want to make sure that families are aware that students can still access high school library services online and through the middle school library. Students can email Beth Kellett, at kellett.1@napls.us, by 8am to request a pass to the middle school library during their study center. Books can be checked out in the middle school library and returned to the high school main office. Please see the main office if you have any questions!
