Early American History Books (nonfiction)

You can click on these links to find out more about the books, read reviews etc. You are under no obligation to buy the books from amazon, it is merely a resource. If you do buy a book the school library will benefit by a small percentage.

USE FROM STUDY HALL

Students who wish to spend their study hall in the library, should report directly to the library and sign in. It is understood that this is an assigned class and that students must be on time with all materials that are needed to make proper use of the available study time. If the center is reserved by teachers for certain classes, it may be closed to the general student body.

COMPUTER USE

Library computers are for research needs. The school’s Acceptable Use Policy dictates their use.  They are for educational purposes only. You may not e-mail or enter chat rooms. You may not download to the hard drives.
