The WAHS Library Media Center is a sanctuary for quiet reflection and study. Our mission is to ensure that students and staff can effectively find and use ideas and information (Information Power, ALA 1998). Our goals are to support the curriculum as well as the reference, research, and pleasure reading needs of students and staff, and to collaborate with teachers to integrate information literacy skills into instruction.
We hope you will visit both the library and this website often.
LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER HOURS: 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. , Monday through Friday.
FACILITIES: The WAHS library media center has 20,000 books, 35 magazines, 3daily newspapers, 15 online databases, a collection of eBooks, 20 computers, and 3 printers for student use, networked with Internet access. Students may log in with their ID number and access their files that were created and saved anywhere in the school building.
CHECK-OUT: Students may check out 10 books for 3 weeks with one renewal. Back issues of magazines may also be checked out. Reference books do not circulate.
LIBRARY VISITS: During class periods, students must have a pass to come to the library unless they are with a teacher/class. Any classroom teacher may send up to five students on individual passes. Students may come to the library without a pass before or after school, during TAB, CARE, and lunch.
STUDY HALL POLICY: Study hall students may obtain a pink pass signed by library staff before or after school, during TAB or lunch, or between classes which authorizes them to come to the library during study hall. Twelve study hall passes are issued during each class period/block. Use of the library during PLC time on Monday mornings is limited to 60 students.
