Welcome to the Library!

We're delighted to welcome you to our world of reading! The library supports the curriculum and exists primarily to instill a life-long love of reading. Let's get started!

Be sure to check out the learning resources we have available. And see this year's California Young Reader's Medal Nominees. We'll feature new books in our collection and highlight classics and old favorites. And we'll be looking for your recommendations to inspire other readers with your favorite titles.


Remember: We take care of our books!

Please read our book borrowing policy. A permission slip will come home in your child's communication folder. Please help us take care of our books.


The library will begin its regular schedule of classes and book borrowing on Monday, September 22nd.

We're pleased to host the Scholastic Book Fair in the Library from September 11th to September 18th. Check out the BW-PTA website for more information.
