November Is Native American Heritage Month
Also known as American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month, November is a time to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories of Indigenous Americans and to acknowledge their historical and ongoing contributions to the country. Native American Heritage Month is also an opportune time to learn about tribes, the unique challenges Native people have faced both historically and in the present, and the ways in which tribal citizens have worked to conquer these challenges.
You can learn and celebrate this month by dropping by the North High Library (or navigating to our website) to check out books by and about Native American individuals, or checking out one of the great resources below!
PBS SoCal has TV episodes and films about all different aspects of Native American culture. They come in a variety of lengths and are geared toward a variety of ages!
The LA County Library offers all sorts of books and activities on its website. If you find that you need a library card to access the materials you want, you can get one online within minutes! This online card will allow you to access all of the library system's digital content. To check out print books and other physical materials, you'll need to visit your local library branch.
The LA Public Library offers similar resources, including a calendar of events that you can attend at your local library.
Vote!
Election Day is Tuesday, November 5. If you're 18+ and haven't registered, yet, you can still do so in person at a polling place on November 5.

Library Closures
We don't have any planned closures for the month of November. If we become aware of closures, we will announce them in advance via Schoology and the library's Instagram. Unfortunately, the library must sometimes close unexpectedly and without warning. When it's the closed, there will be a large sign in front of the door saying so. Please do not walk by these signs without reading them. We appreciate your patience and cooperation.
