Gene & Mickey Long Library

The Gene & Mickey Long Library is the official name of the Library Media Center (LMC) at Willow Glen High School. Gene and Mickey Long were both former principals here. Upon their death, a portion of their estate was bequeathed to the WGHS LMC. Their generosity has allowed the LMC to purchase equipment and materials above and beyond the ever-diminishing funding received from Sacramento. In addition to some new books requested by teachers and a mobile computer lab, we have been able to equip the LMC computer labs with LCD projectors and screens.

The LMC is an attractive facility that is used heavily by the school and the community. The main central area is used for student research and is equipped with a projection screen for large group presentations. Students can locate books by accessing our electronic database from ten computer browsers. There are two very popular computer labs within the LMC which can be reserved by any teacher to bring in their classes. The library is staffed by a Library Media Assistant, M-F, from 8:00- 2:00.

An after-school program for all Willow Glen students called the "YMCA Homework Center" is based in the LMC. It provides a place for our students to come to for study, homework assistance or computer access, with supervision provided by YMCA staff. It is open M-Th, from 2:00-6:00 PM.
