The Westchester Public Library now houses collections of the most used textbooks in District 92½’s Intermediate and Middle schools and Divine Infant School. These books are for in-house use only, and can be found in the Children's Reference Collection. In many cases, workbooks may not be included. We do not have all of the textbooks call to see if we have a specific textbook title.
