2025
Library Gala

Welcome to the West End Secondary School 2025 Art Gala, where creativity meets education. Join us in appreciating the beauty of student art while supporting the library.

A History of the Library

WESS has had the space available for a library since its founding. Over the years, the "library" has shifted between room 308 - some might know it as the rec room - and room 122 on the first floor. Both rooms are now being used as classrooms with books and broken shelves pushed to the back and forgotten.

In previous years, there have been several attempts at purchasing shelves and organizing books but with little success. Recently, books that were previously moved up from the first-floor library have been moved back down in an attempt to create something at least resembling a library in a first-floor seminar classroom. However, even in this room, there is much work to be done. Shelves are broken and only half filled with books and the room appears barren and lifeless. 

 

It is our goal with the Art Gala to make the library into a cheerful and bright cornerstone of our school that inspires learning, creativity, and wonder.
