Overdue & Lost Books Turn in for All Ankeny Schools Libraries
We still have a large percentage of students who checked out books last year. In addition, due to the school closure from the pandemic, some students were unable to return the book by the end of the year, and now they are at another school. These books may show up on the student's account as lost with a replacement fee. If this is the case for your family, we can help.
Southview students may return books for any school in the district to Southview Library Media Center, and we'll get the book to the home school library. For a limited time, all returned books that are currently marked as lost will have the fines waived.
Free Access to over 3,200 eBooks & Audio books!
These MackinVIA Directions will assist you in logging in and access the MackinVIA features. The only difference for Ankeny students is that after the initial login, you will be directed to the Destiny Catalog login, where you will need to use your student ID number for the username (not your complete email) and your normal student password.
Go to MackinVIA.com to access the 3,200+ ebooks and audiobooks titles available to Southview Students.
