Why don't they stop?
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

I really dont think they're disciminating against you...It is not that big of a deal to turn it into the NAACP...They probably have just formed an opinion of you and i know people shouldn't but they do its just a part of life you're going to have to deal with it, white people get it too.

If you think they are actually being racist report them to principal first and foremost.
But honestly, they probably aren't being racist, just hardasses who have labeled you as a troublemaker. Did you do something get this label? Are they just nuts? Or is there maybe something in the way you speak to these 'just old librarians' that might be a bit disrespectful? Quite frankly, they might just not like you and they are allowed to not like you. Unless you can prove they have a pattern of abuse of people of a particular race or they have made openly racist comments you won’t be able to prove any sort of racial discrimination. Asking you if you are supposed to be in class and checking ID is pretty normal school employee behavior.
If you go through life expecting to be discriminated against, you will find discrimination everywhere you look. If you go through life assuming the best in people, you will live a happier more peaceful life, and you will be much better equipped to deal with those who are actually discrimination against you.

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.

If you really think that they are racist or something then you should report them..
If you feel that way I mean.
But the more important thing you should do is talk to them about it first and wander why they're giving you these accusations.
I'm sure everything will be fine.
I hope I helped and good luck.
