WHS Library Fall News
Welcome back to the library! Now that we are halfway through the first quarter, we wanted to make you aware of what’s happening in the WHS library and of the following resources and services that are available.
Public Library Cards:
Do your students need their own public library card? Yes! Having one will allow them to access many online resources such as databases, Libby, Hoopla, and more! A physical card will also allow them to check out books or request books through interlibrary loan. Students can sign up online here, or visit the Weston Public Library. Any MA resident can also sign up for a Boston Public Library card.
What Resources do students have access to?
- Two highly-trained and helpful professionals 😉
- Loaner computers & chargers
- printers
- Textbooks (because who wants to carry those heavy books around?)
- Online resources: databases and newspapers. We are in the process of getting quotes for several Gale subscriptions. A free trial of Gale literature and Gale in Context: Opposing Viewpoints will be coming soon! Stay tuned for more details.
- Everyone on campus has free access to the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, provided by the library. Access the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal here! We are also working on getting access to the Boston Globe.
- Books for pleasure and research
- Games—chess has been a big hit so far!
- The craft corner—this month is origami
New books and collections
Looking for a book to read? You can browse new books and collections in person or online. In September we highlighted the Right to Read and Dark Academia. This month we will be featuring:

Read a book or check out a movie! So many great choices. Thanks for reading, and we look forward to seeing you in the library!
