Wenonah's Library, the focal point of the school, is centrally located on the third floor. Our mission is to provide information through technology and other media and to support Wenonah High School's curriculum objective "to educate all students to become contributing members of a global society".

The Library is open from 7:45 to 3:45 to staff and to everyone from 8:00 until 3:35. The Library operates on open scheduling and teachers are encouraged to sign up for usage of the main area, computer labs and equipment.

The Dragon Book Club meets in the library 7 times a year, once a month starting in September and ending in April.

Vision Statement

The Wenonah High School Library Media Program seeks to create a 21st century environment that promotes learning for all students by providing equitable access to information, teaching information literacy skills, and encouraging lifelong learning. The library media center strives to be a center of collaborative learning that produces creative students who have an appreciation of literature, critical thinking skills, and a respect for others and self.

Mission Statement

The mission of Wenonah High School Library is to provide students with the opportunity to become not only lifelong users of information, but also creators of information. The library will support the curriculum by collaborating with teachers, developing a collection that is representative of the community, and implementing literacy instruction for students.
