I'm not here to tell you what to think or do, but to give you as much honest, accurate information as possible. If I don't know an answer to a specific question, I'll research it before replying. I won't sugarcoat things; my job is to tell it like it is.
I've got a particular interest in sexual health and sexuality. I know a lot about fertility and pregnancy - and firsthand now, as I've just had twins. I'm also an accredited sexual health worker.

They are librarians at my school who are discriminating to me they think that I am some kind of spy that just comes to make trouble. I am black yes I'm black I only come to library when there is i,portant work to be done. They will harass me accuse me of stealing my own ID card, and the fact that they think just because I come during study hall I am ditching a class. Should I report to the NAACP or what. What did I do wrong. Its hard just to take that especially when they are just old librarians. Its so heartbreaking. What should I do (link)

If you haven't been messing around in the library and really feel like they are being racist, then making a stand might be a good idea. It's always good to put complaints on paper, because that helps you be specific and is proof of the substance of your claim.
Do you have specific dates and times they have treated you poorly? While they aren't an absolute, they might help. Otherwise, mention the specific examples you have listed here.
Submit a copy of this to the head librarian, the principal, and the school newspaper. Ask for a response within a specified amount of time, and say you would appreciate a conversation with the principal.
It would be helpful to have moral support - especially to make sure you are treated fairly during any meetings. Is there a teacher, guidance counsellor, or youth worker you trust?
Of course, your other option is to speak directly with the librarians themselves. If you do and nothing changes, then you have the choice to let it stay the same or lodge the complaint (as described above).
If you feel unsatisfied by the school's response, then there should be a school board you can submit your complaint to.
Best of luck.
