Nekoosa High School Library
Physical Resources
The library will attempt to make the items below available for students and the community to access and check out. However NHS staff has priority over the equipment if it will be used in their classroom or a project. The best approach is to contact Mr. McKeever to discuss your needs. See his contact information at the bottom of the page or on the about page.
