New Books and Lots of Paper Cranes
Our students are thrilled to explore these new books donated by the PTO from the November Scholastic Book Fair.
When you visit the library be prepared to be amazed by the display of over 1,000 paper cranes created by our 5th graders inspired by the book Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. #NewBooks #ScholasticBookFair #SadakoAndTheThousandPaperCranes #PTORocks

Mrs. Antony's TK class enjoys story time on their brand new rug, thanks to a generous donation from our amazing PTO and participating parents during the Pledge Drive!
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.
