Neff MS Library

The Neff MS Library is more than a place for books โ€” itโ€™s a place for experiences. Through dynamic programming like collaborative lessons, digital breakouts, reading conferences, speakers, and museum-like exhibits, students engage in meaningful learning that blends literacy, technology, and hands-on exploration. Guided by the librarian, the libraryโ€™s programs aim to make reading exciting, foster studentsโ€™ growth as thoughtful, engaged learners, and build a strong culture of curiosity across campus.
