Westwood Public Schools Library mission statement

The Westwood Public Schools library program encourages active, authentic learning vital to helping students become resourceful, innovative, information-literate participants of the world community. The libraries are the information access hub of the schools, striving to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and resources which will empower them to become independent critical readers and thinkers able to effectively and responsibly acquire, use, and share information. The library program also seeks to support teachers and administrators as they implement the curriculum and its goals. Elementary school library teachers meet with each grade level class on a weekly basis.
