Welcome to the Wilbur S. Pence Middle School Library!

This site is for you, the student, the parent, the teacher, to use at school, home or anywhere you have Internet access.You will find information about how we do things, our policies, at WSPMS library.  Sometimes you’ll need the library on the weekends or evenings when

it’s closed and I hope that is when this site will be especially helpful to you.  The goal is for this site to be easy to navigate and for it to contain all of the resources you may want or need to be a successful learner/teacher now and into your future. Please contact me if you have ideas for additional resources or suggestions for this site.

Every Month Should Be “School Library Month!” Come see us!

    It is about a kid who wants to answer all the questions nobody answers like how do you know your dead,or are ghost real.Read the book to find out more.

    Reminder: just because something is popular, doesn’t mean it is the only good book in the library. Open yourself up to new titles and you shall be amazed. Remember to read over extended spring break.
