Hello, Wildcat Families & Stakeholders!

I am Emilia Sadler, and I proudly serve as Westside Elementary’s School Librarian. With over twenty years in education, I began my career as a classroom teacher and have also served as a SPED host, Gifted teacher, and school leader. It is an honor to be part of the Westside faculty and staff—we truly have the best of the best right here at Westside!

The library at Westside is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Students, faculty, and staff have access to a wide variety of books and resources, which can be checked out daily. Students are welcome to visit the Media Center individually throughout the school day to find their next great read.

Our Media Center is also Future Ready! Lessons support classroom instruction and enrich the curriculum, while technology such as iPad carts, Chromebooks, Chromeboxes, Viewsonics, and our 1:1 devices provide students with hands-on opportunities to learn and grow. I collaborate with teachers every day with the shared goal of instilling a lifelong love of reading in every Wildcat.

Each year, the Media Center sponsors two book fairs, which serve as fundraisers. These funds are used to promote student literacy and support reading programs throughout the school.

I look forward to another exciting year of reading, learning, and growing together here at Westside!

Mission: The Library Media Center strives to ensure that all students and faculty have access to the most advanced technology and quality printed materials available. We are committed to providing leadership and expertise to help patrons find and use information effectively.
