Library
Welcome to the WHS Library
8:10 AM – 4:00 PM
The Wenatchee High School library is a student-centered place of curiosity, creativity, and connection. Here, students explore new ideas, discover diverse perspectives, and develop the skills they need to navigate an ever-changing world. Whether diving into a novel, collaborating on a project, or accessing digital resources, every visit is an opportunity to learn, grow, and be inspired.
Where can you find us? With the introduction of the WHS Pathways Center, the library’s main entrance has shifted to the former Resource Center. Library and resource checkout will both be conducted at the resource counter.
Get Audiobooks & eBooks on Libby or Hoopla
Audiobooks and ebooks increase the accessibility of reading for students with disabilities or on-the-go. Wenatchee High School partners with NCW Libraries to provide access to additional library resources! All students can login to Libby and Hoopla to access ebooks and audiobooks with their WHS student ID:
Username: 4140 + your WHS student ID number (with the 0)
Password: your WHS student ID number (with the 0)
