Policies and Procedures
The Nimitz High School Library offers three flexible activity areas:
- West Side - a presentation area large enough to hold 2 classes
- Middle - a small group study area for research and assignments featuring 12 desktop computers and comfortable seating options
- East Side - can also hold 2 classes; features modular tables that can be modified to create larger or individual seating arrangements
The Professional Library may also be booked for smaller meetings of approximately 6-8 people.
Over 18,000 books and other resources are available for research, information and pleasure reading. We welcome students with blue passes or library-issued passes throughout the school day. Parents are invited to visit the library to check out books for personal reading or picture books to read to younger family members. Teachers are expected to plan projects collaboratively with the librarian. Presentation areas may be scheduled in advance.
