Introduction

The combined Founders' Library, Reading Room and Computer Lab give the NWS community access to a variety of information sources, including books, DVD's, audiobooks, databases, online resources, and the internet.

The goal of our curriculum-based program is to encourage students to be tenacious and independent learners, to ask questions, to develop information-seeking strategies, and to synthesize and evaluate what they discover. Our librarian, Nancy Highiet collaborates with teachers from all disciplines to create assignments. Our library staff promotes recreational reading through book talks and school-wide events, such as author visits, DEAR (Drop Everything and Read), and several book clubs.

Continuing Partnership with Elliott Bay Book Company

Elliott Bay Book Company is continuing its longtime partnership with the Northwest School by providing a credit to the school's library each time a student, parent or guardian buys a book at the store. When you identify yourself as a NWS community member, the store will credit 10% of your purchase to our library account, providing a substantial discount for the school. Please visit Elliott Bay Book Company at their new location on 10th and Pike, right up the street from the Northwest School.

Thank you, EBBC, new neighbor, longtime friend and supporter of NWS.
