The Vacaville High School Library (The Lemoine Williams Memorial Library) has been in existence since 1954. The library is at the center of the school and at the center of the school's activities. VHS Library provides access to over 15,000 books and media resources via Athena, the online catalog. Online databases provide full-text article through periodicals, newspapers, and poetry resources for academic research. An online encyclopedia is also available. We encourage active study and exploration of all the resources in the library.
