Library
Welcome to the NOHS Library!
We plan to be open most school days from 8:30-4:00. Students are welcome and encouraged to use the library to study, to read and checkout books, to check out Chromebooks, and to get support with any technological issues.
VISION:
The NOHS Library is a trusted resource to foster joy and curiosity in literacy materials of all forms and to engage all students in innovative learning opportunities that prepare them for their future endeavors academically and personally.
MISSION:
We are committed to ensuring that all students have equitable opportunities to develop the skills necessary to access, evaluate, and use media in all forms. We work diligently to promote literacy, provide instructional and technological support, and collaborate with all stakeholders in the building to ensure that students have access to instructional materials and technology to equip them with the skills needed to be proficient post-secondary digital citizens.

This school year, we’ve partnered with The Atlantic to provide unlimited access to
Pulitzer-winning journalism, scholarly resources, and games for the entire North Oldham community.
Since 1857, The Atlantic has been a magazine of ideas, aiming to help readers better understand
the world in all its complexity. Your free subscription includes unlimited reading online, narrated
articles and podcasts, games, and more. This access is only available on school WiFi, but articles
can be printed out to read anywhere!
Get a deeper perspective
Don’t just scan the headlines. Get Pulitzer-winning reporting and insight on everything worth
knowing about, from the latest in politics to the future of AI. With your subscription, you can
read—and listen, in narrated form—to unlimited articles. Whether you’re looking for
breaking news or a break from the news, find it daily in The Atlantic.
Find primary resources for your coursework
Whether you’re searching for reliable primary sources or fiction and poetry from Hemingway,
Plath, and more of history’s most influential writers, you can find your next great read in the
digital archive. Search by topic or writer, and save any story—from 1857 to today—to your
personal library.
Listen, follow, play
See if you can solve the Atlantic crossword or Caleb’s Inferno. Listen to weekly podcasts like
Radio Atlantic and Good on Paper. And follow The Atlantic on Instagram and TikTok.
We’re very excited to bring you free access to one of America’s most significant magazines.
Enjoy it this school year!
