A large check for Washington Middle School sits on a wooden bookshelf surrounded by rows of colorful books.

Welcome to the Washington Library, your middle school hub for reading, learning, and discovery!

Open Monday through Friday from 11:45 AM to 2:50 PM, our library offers a diverse bilingual book collection available to all students. Books are checked out for three weeks. 

Students are invited to visit the library with their advisory class, by requesting a pass during the school day, or stopping by during lunch (capped at 15 students total).

Beyond our physical shelves, 24/7 digital access to ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines is available anytime through the SORA reading platform.

If a checked-out item goes missing, our lost book policy is simple and accessible: students can clear their account by bringing in any gently used children's or middle-grade book as a replacement.
