Library Cards, Resources & Hispanic Heritage Month

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: 

Does your student 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. 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 does your student 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
• 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!
• 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:

• Spooky & Scary books

• LGBTQ+ History 

• Media Literacy Week

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-October 15)

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!
