"Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are." (Mason Cooley)

The West Hills Media Center is more than just a library.
In addition to the usual books and magazines, we also have a variety of media and electronic resources for students and teachers, including a state of the art computer lab with high speed access to the internet. Students can use the computers after school.
