Whether we are remote, hybrid, or in person, I am available to assist students and staff. Please email me questions and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Please remember our reference databases are available for you to access all day everyday. If you need the usernames/passwords, please email me.

Our ebooks are also available for you to access. They can be found by clicking online catalogs above, and then ebook catalog. Your library card number is your student ID number, and your pin is the Westlake zip code. Click here for an instructional video.

Stay safe, wash your hands, and I will see you soon.
