Northside Libraries are the heart of each school community, creating meaningful and diverse learning opportunities, nurturing in our students a love for reading and learning, and developing in them the skills necessary to fully participate in society.
Our libraries purchase and maintain a current, relevant, and diverse collection of over two million print and digital materials for both study and pleasure.

80 Elementary School Libraries
20 Middle School Libraries
12 High School Libraries
2 Professional Libraries
Northside ISD has a total of 112 campus libraries and 2 professional libraries located at NAC and NLC. All NISD libraries are staffed by professional, certified librarians. High school libraries also have a paraprofessional library assistant. Studies consistently find positive relationships between having access to full-time, qualified school librarians and student performance.
This year our district libraries served over 77,000 classes, provided millions of print books and facilitated over 200 presenters.
Recently, all Northside libraries enjoyed a range of improvements: from major renovations to redecorating. This ensures every student an updated, enjoyable and flexible learning space.
