New Books in the Library!
There are a few hundred new books in the Westgate Library collection from the recently closed Woodway Library.  The books were chosen from the collection to improve and expand the Westgate collection.  Thanks to all the volunteers who helped get them ready to put on the shelves!.

Try the Library Catalog and Searching System!
All the libraries in the district have a new circulation and library catalog system that will make sharing and searching for resources much easier.  There are a lot of great features like tiny book covers so users can visualize the book, reading lists created by teachers, book reviews, searching online resources along with books, etc.  

To access the library catalog online:  
Go to the school web site and click the Library link.
Click Links on the library web site menu.  
Click Library Catalog at the top of the list.  
Scroll down and click Westgate Elementary.
You are now in the library catalog!

Knitting and Crochet Club Stitching Away!
Many 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students have learned how to knit and/or crochet and are working on projects every lunch recess in the library.  Mrs. Lindquist and Ms. Wittmann teach knitting to beginners.  Ms. Zumbo-Krus teaches crocheting.  Yarn in many colors is available for projects and students buy needles or hooks.  Stop by the library and see the creative work and join in if you know how to knit.  We are always looking for donations of yarn too.
