Welcome to the Nyack High School Library
The library has both print and non-print materials and electronic resources available for all students. The electronic resources are also available through remote access (from home or outside the district), further information on those resources and access to them is provided on this page. The District has an online catalog, also linked to this page. Students may use the library during their lunch period, their option period (for 11th and 12th graders), their study hall (9th and 10th graders with sign up) and after school with student ID for all students. We look forward to serving our students with their curriculum needs. It is recommended that all students join the librarian's Google Classroom Page, class code: VLTY3Ai, for more information about the library and school assignments.

FROM THE LIBRARIAN
Hello! My name is Amanda Birro, the new library media specialist at Nyack High School. Having just relocated to the area, I am excited to be a new member of the Nyack community. I look forward to helping students find the resources they need to accomplish both academic and personal tasks. One of my goals is to have the library help each student achieve their maximum potential as 21st century learners. I aspire to create a welcoming environment for all.
If a book is lost or damaged, we will contact you. You have the option to replace the book with a new copy directly to the library or a check can be made out to Nyack Public Schools for the cost of the item so that it may be replaced. For Chromebooks that students are permitted to use while in the library, if they are lost or damaged, a check can be made out to Nyack Public Schools for the cost of the item so that it may be replaced.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to working with you all and to an exciting year ahead!
