WBSD Update
A weekly update from the West Bloomfield School District
WBSD Weekly Update - Nov. 20
We will continue to follow the data and monitor trends as we evaluate our next steps moving forward as a district. It remains our goal to do what is best for the safety and wellbeing of our students, staff and their families. We hope to make a decision regarding our return to our hybrid model following Thanksgiving Break in the days ahead.
Mask Up, Stay Safe, Save Lives.

The West Bloomfield Township Main Library and Westacres Branch are open for Phase 3 services.
In Phase 3, our priorities continue to be the health and safety of staff, users and the community at large and providing convenient access to collections of materials in all formats. An additional goal of Phase 3 is providing access the Library’s public computers, scanners and printers, equipment that we recognize not everyone in our community may have at home. Please see the Library’s website for the latest updates and temporary hours.
Renew or request a library card
Ask at the Main Library Reception desk or the Westacres Branch Circulation desk. You can also continue to renew or request a library card on the Library’s website.
