Welcome to the West High Library Media Center!
Our goal in the LMC is to support inquiry by both students and staff. To assist with that, we offer print and non-print resources that give access to information from a variety of sources. We are committed to teaching students information literacy skills and digital citizenship.
GBAPS school libraries build a collection based on board-approved selection guidelines, that meet the wide-ranging needs and interests across the school community and provide choices that are relevant and appealing. Our collections reflect the diversity of ideas and authors, and the population of our school communities. We include books and other print and digital materials to engage students and support the curriculum.
Browse our collection of books, magazines, and other resources by using the Destiny Discover and ClassLink LaunchPad links. You can log in using your network username and password.
The Selection and Review of Library Media Center Materials and Resources can be found in GBAPS School Board Documents.
If a student is in need of internet access outside of school, there are WiFi hotspots available for student checkout. Please see more information on WiFi Solution for Student Home Use.
We are Future Ready
The Green Bay Area Public School District (GBAPS) mission is to educate all students to be college, career, and community ready, inspired to succeed in the diverse world. Within this mission there are five Core Values: Excellence, Engagement, Equity, Integrity, and Responsibility. The Library Media Department embraces our District Core Values, and we use them to guide our work and library services.
Our goals and objectives directly align with the District’s Strategic Plan and are guided by practices outlined in the Future Ready Librarian Framework. It is important to note that these goals and objectives are rooted in the beliefs that our work is student-centered and that literacy is at the heart of everything we do.
If you are interested in learning more about the GBAPS library program, the aforementioned commitments, or our goals and action steps to move us forward, please take a look at our Long Range Plan.
