Turning a New Page Raise Your Paddle for a Flexible Library Space The WES Library is a special place where our Dragons dream, create, and explore new possibilities. It’s a sanctuary for escape and inspiration, and a hub where people gather to learn and connect. Hosting science fairs, performances, visiting authors, teacher training, guest speakers, PA meetings, Board meetings, and more, our library is the cornerstone of our community.

This year’s Raise Your Paddle initiative will support an update to this vital space. Upgrades will feature practical places for study, cozy corners for discovery, small group areas for collaboration, and the flexibility for large group gatherings, events, workshops, and exhibitions. New library furniture with a more modern, mobile design will improve the learning experience for all our Dragons, from PK3 through Grade 8.

As we update the furniture and carpeting, we will also install video conferencing equipment so our entire community can be connected for PA meetings, guest speaker events, and more.

The plan is to complete this transformation this summer so we can begin the 2024-2025 school year with this reimagined, dynamic community space.

Our Library Space Now Our current furniture is dated, faded, heavy, cumbersome, and constricting.

The carpet is faded and there is no video conferencing capability for meetings and presentations.

It’s time for an update.
