IF STUDENTS WOULD LIKE TO CHECK OUT A BOOK, THEY CAN BROWSE DESTINY DISCOVER, THE LIBRARY'S ONLINE CATALOG, WHICH CAN BE FOUND ON CLASSLINK.

THROUGH DESTINY, STUDENTS CAN BROWSE THE LIBRARY'S COLLECTION AND PLACE BOOKS ON HOLD. WHEN THE BOOK IS AVAILABLE, WE WILL DELIVER IT TO THE STUDENT IN THEIR ELA OR FOCUS CLASS.

IF A BOOK IS LOST OR DAMAGED, IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT COST OF THE BOOK. THE MONEY CAN BE TURNED IN TO THE LIBRARY IN THE FORM OF EXACT CASH OR A CHECK MADE PAYABLE TO GMS.

In a library that serves students ranging in ages from eleven to fourteen, a wide variety of materials are needed. What is interesting and appropriate for eleven-year-olds may not be interesting and/or appropriate for fourteen-year-olds. Parents are encouraged to engage their children in dialogue about what they are reading. If you find that your child is reading a book of which you do not approve, please send the book back to the library and we will work together to find something that your child can enjoy.
