The NBTHS library program supports creative and critical thinking. We prepare our students to be effective researchers, independent thinkers, collaborative workers, creative producers, and lifelong learners in a global community. We believe that active encouragement of reading for pleasure is a core part of every student's educational entitlement, whatever their background or attainment because we know that extensive reading and exposure to a wide range of texts make a huge contribution to students’ educational achievement.
All NBTHS' students and faculty are invited to check out books and resources from the Library. Students and faculty are issued borrowing accounts automatically.
Loan Periods
Grade: 9-12 Books/Resources: 10 resources Length: 14 days

All books can be renewed once if there are no holds on the books. If books are checked-out, patrons can request a hold through the librarian.
Returns and Overdues
Patrons are responsible for turning in books or renewing them on or before the due date. Patrons with overdue books will be sent weekly email and homeroom reminders. A $.05 fine will be billed each week to the student accounts for books that are overdue for 4 or more weeks until the book is returned.
Lost Books
A $15 charge will be billed to student account for the replacement of the lost book(s). A replacement copy of the lost book(s) is also acceptable to clear account charges.
The philosophy at the North Brunswick Township High School Library is to provide a wide variety of materials and resources necessary to accomplish the goals and the objectives of the school. This philosophy further acknowledges the uniqueness of each student by providing materials for various levels of learning. The library staff works with students and staff to provide materials to support the curriculum and encouraging the independent study and personal reading of students.
