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 or other item that is property of the library is lost or damaged, we will contact you. You have the option to replace the item with a new one 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.
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!
