This month, CVHS Library celebrates the history and contemporary works of Native American, Indigenous and First Nations authors and activists. A special exhibit documents the historic Klamath River Dam removals and Yurok youth eco-activists. CVHS environmentalists can gain inspiration from this decades-long effort to restore the natural flow of the Klamath River.

History
CVHS Library announces its first Subject Guide to support Modern World History. Subject guides connect teachers and students to library resources in a specific subject area or topic.
The Modern World History guide is tied to curriculum standards and provides access to the primary and secondary sources discussed in the textbook as well as additional resources in the library (in print and digital format.) By using the guide, students and teachers can broaden their learning about key moments in history from the Enlightenment to present day with excellent information resources.
The first page of the Modern World History guide provides comprehensive access for most topics covered in high school. The secondary pages of the subject guide focus on specific units, in this case, a specific historical period (e.g. the Industrial Revolution.) Over time, the secondary pages will be built to cover additional units (e.g. the Great Depression), and additional resources in all formats will be featured (books, eBooks, documentary film, etc.)
Subject guides appear on the library website:
Subject guides can also be accessed in the library's main search menu:
For more information about subject guides for teachers and department chairs, and how to request priority development of a guide for your department, please visit the Teacher Services page.
CVHS Library celebrates Black History Month this year focussed on the 2025 ASALH's national heritage theme: African Americans and Labor.
Visit the library to learn more about the many contributions black and African Americans make in our historical and modern day workforce.
Afro-Latino Authors
CVHS Library also celebrates Afro-Latino Authors with an intersectional book display, created in collaboration with Ms. Christensen's Advanced Spanish for Heritage Speakers course. In preparation for the display, which will appear mid-February and remain in the library until the end of the month, students research an Afro-Latino author or changemaker, read one of their books, and create a bilingual book display to encourage more students to explore titles and authors that bring a unique perspective to literature and our world. Titles and authors are selected in many genres representative of the scope of contributions Afro-Latinos make to our literary heritage and country.
