Library / Media Center

Northwest Middle's Library Media Specialist is Ms. Suzanne Atwell - suzanne.atwell@knoxschools.org.

At the heart of every community lies a library—an essential space where learning, exploration, and connection thrive. Northwest’s library is more than just a place for books; it's a vibrant hub where curiosity meets knowledge. Through a diverse collection of resources including books, eBooks, audio books, databases, board games, puzzles and more, students are encouraged to explore new ideas, develop a love for reading, and expand their horizons. Whether diving into a novel, discovering a new subject, or engaging with peers, the library fosters an environment where the community comes together to learn, grow, and share in the journey of discovery. Teachers and the Library Media Specialist have worked together to maximize the opportunities for students to be able to browse for the materials they need.
