VIRTUAL STUDENTS! It is open to you too! Ordering your books online at www.limitlesslibraries.org or just email us questions and we can help you out! We will get books prepped for you and place those at the Main Office for pick-up!

In-Person Students! The above applies to you to, but you have access within the building so follow this guide to collect books or asking questions in person.

Library is open 7-2 every school day for Research Questions, Tech Questions with your laptops, School Supply needs, and Book & Movie Checkout. Just get a Hall Pass from your teacher.

We are currently closed to after-school, computers, quiet study, and printing. :--- (

This Book Loving, Tea Chugging, Rules Challenging, force took control of the 2020-2021 MNPS Battle of the Books against other MNPS High Schools. They were first seed in the brackets during first round and lost out in overtime against Hume Fogg! It was safe to say that this Was Book Battle MADNESS! So proud of this team and how they took the challenge to read 13 Books this school year and rocked it at Battle of the Books!
