    Ballard High School Library

    Welcome to What's New in the Ballard High School Library!

    Ballard students use the library for so many reasons. Students come to the space to print, work on computers, study, check out books, hang with friends. Everyone is always invited to the library and if you time it right you just might be there for a program or activity that continues to bring our community together. Stop by the library today! Watch for upcoming Ballard High School library events by viewing the updates on the Library Calendar.

    Visit the Seattle Public School Library Newsletters to see what is happening at libraries all over the SPS District!

    Halloween Fun | Tutoring Help

    Halloween fun and more in the library

    The Ballard High School has been filled with Halloween laughter and joy with illustrated 2-sentence horror stories, googley-eyed monster headbands, and Rubik's Cube spider mosaics.

    Even with all the fun we still managed to get tutoring in for students who need it.

    We have tutors Monday-Thursday after school until 4:45 pm and on Tuesday and Thursday mornings starting at 7:45 am. You can find a little bit of everything in our library.

    Mr. Wynkoop and Ms. Chambers meet one or two times a month, at lunch, in the Ballard High School library, to meet and talk about books students want to read. Students pick the books and tasty snacks are provided.

    This month we are reading graphic novels. In first lunch, we are reading, My Friend Dahmer and in second lunch we are reading, Star Wars and The Watchmen. Please contact Ms. Chambers about how to activate your Digital Library Link SPL card so you can access these books at any time.
