The Library at Newport Harbor High School’s book collection includes a sizable sampling of fiction, nonfiction, biography and reference materials. Many research databases are available for student use. Teachers can sign up online to reserve class time in the Library and Computer Lab.

The library staff assists teachers with developing resource-based lesson plans and teaching information literacy skills, where students learn to discern authoritative, fact-based resources from opinion and persuasion sources.

The NHHS Library is also home to the Ruth Stoever Fleming Collection of Southern California Art. From 1935 until 1966, under the direction of Librarian Ruth Stoever Fleming, fifty-six oil or watercolor paintings were acquired either as senior class gifts or as purchase prizes from The Newport Harbor Art Exhibit held annually in the Newport Harbor Library and Gymnasium. Newport Harbor High School is one of the only high schools in the nation to own and display a historical art collection.
