Parents & Community
Welcome!Bienvenidos!Bienvenue!Hoan Nghên!Добро пожаловать
Welcome parents and community members!
Our school library serves over 750 students and 55+ teachers in our school community. We provide access to many resources, including print books, ebooks, online databases for research, and paid-subscription websites. View the full list of what we offer here.
Our library program is guided by the AASL National School Library Standards and the Pennsylvania Library Model Curriculum. Students visit the library with various classes to learn how to conduct research, become better readers, and pursue their interests through different learning activities.
Looking for a way to help your school community? Donate money or purchase from our book list for the Library!

Library Policies
Students may check out up to 10 physical items at a time.
Students may check out up to 10 digital items at a time through the MackinVIA ebooks platform. Digital items include ebooks and online audiobooks.
All items are checked out for as long as needed. Students at West will need books for projects. Please be sure to check with your teacher before returning a book.
Ebooks and online audiobooks are automatically returned. Students can renew them in MackinVIA, only if they are not on hold for someone else.
There are no late fines or fees. However, if an item is not returned by the end of the school year, we will assume the item is lost and charge a replacement fee.
If a print book is damaged, please do not try to fix it yourself. The teacher-librarian has special repair supplies to fix ripped pages, missing stickers, and sometimes broken book spines. If a book cannot be repaired, then it must be replaced.
Students are responsible for taking care of the items they check out from the library and returning them for others to enjoy.
Note for Parents: We appreciate parents' support as students learn to take care of their library items, and we encourage students to keep their library items in one safe place at home (away from pets, water bottles, and younger siblings).
Also, lost and damaged items can be replaced with the same item in new condition. For example, if a hardcover book is lost or damaged, then a new hardcover book can be purchased online or from a local bookstore instead of paying the replacement fee.
Teachers and Staff
All teachers and staff members may check out an unlimited number of physical items.
Please return items you are finished using so that others may enjoy them.
