Every year we update our library collection with books and resources that will enrich our students' learning and growth. All families are invited to donate to the Birthday Books program and their child will attend a special event in the library to select a book to donate. Sign up here. A Wildcat favorite!

All 4th and 5th graders are invited to participate in Wildcat Book Clubs, a fun way to read and connect around books! We have four lively lunchtime meetings and a special movie showing in the spring. Learn more and sign up here.

The librarians are pleased to announce the Reading List for the 2026 HCSD Battle of the Books. The program is open to all 4th and 5th graders. We have copies of the books at West, and you can also see which titles are available for borrowing at the Burlingame Public Library.
