Library

The library is a place that collects and houses physical books, periodicals, and media—and a portal to extensive online holdings, including research databases, periodicals, and e-books.

Librarians work with faculty to help students learn to locate, evaluate, and cite scholarly information in all formats. Librarians also build a well-rounded collection (with extensive input from the community) to support recreational reading and personal exploration.

The Archives, housed in the library, bring together a living collection of materials relating to the history of NMH since its beginning in 1879. Frequent users of the archives include NMH classes, alumni and their families, NMH offices, and outside researchers.

Our Mission

The mission of Schauffler Library is to support and stimulate the educational environment of the school and inspire the community. The library's staff, facilities, technology, and collections promote the personal and intellectual growth of each community member and NMH's mission of education for the head, heart, and hand.
