April is Arab American Heritage Month!

Every April, the U.S. and the North High Library honor the culture and history of Arab Americans. For centuries, Arab Americans have embraced working hard, giving back, and cultivating friendship and community--helping shape this country's history and build its future. Celebrate this month with books by and about Arab American individuals!

April is Celebrate Neurodiversity Month!

This month, we celebrate that there’s no single “right” way for brains to work! The neurodiverse community includes people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other differences that shape how they think, learn, and experience the world. These differences aren’t deficits—they’re part of the range of human strengths and perspectives that make our school and the world more creative, thoughtful, and innovative. Below, we’ve highlighted books and voices that reflect neurodiverse experiences and encourage everyone to build understanding, respect, and appreciation for the many ways people think and learn.

Featured books 4

April is National Poetry Month!

Launched by the Academy of American Poets in April 1996, National Poetry Month reminds us that poets have an integral role to play in our culture and that poetry matters. Celebrate by reading one of the novels in verse featured below. 

Prefer more traditional poetry? See some of our newest additions below, or visit the 810s area of the library for the complete collection!
