Checking Out and Reserving Book
Visiting our school library is enjoyed by students in all grades. They look forward to seeing the brightly decorated library and looking through all our great books.
Students are able to put books on hold if the title they want (especially in a series) is not available. Our librarian will pull that title aside and let their teacher know the book is ready for pick-up and email your child their book is available. You can also use the online catalog to reserve books. Instructions on how to do this are in the following paragraph.
Online Catalog of Library Books
Our library book collection is searchable online through the Destiny library management system. Students and staff may access their account online to renew and place a hold on items. Follow these easy steps to start your search:
- Visit the website esdlib.follettdestiny.com(opens in new window/tab)
- Click on our school's name
- Click on "Log in" (top right corner)
- Enter your student ID number for both the username and password, click on "Log in"
- From here you can search the catalog and place books on hold.
Please ask our librarian if you have questions about searching the online catalog or accessing your personal account.
Accelerated Reading (AR) Program
Accelerated Reader (AR), created by Renaissance Learning, Inc., is an individualized reading program used at school to assess and improve each student’s reading skills and to increase reading enjoyment. Read the Parent's Guide to AR BookFinder to learn more.

If you are wondering if a book is the appropriate AR level, there is a website that can help you! Click on the AR BookFinder link below to find out the AR book level and if the book has an AR test. Most, but not all library books have an AR quiz.
