WLPCS Library Newsletter
February 2018
Dear Latin Lions,
Sincerely,
WLPCS Library Team (Ms. Hamm, Ms. Abercrombie, and the library interns)
Destiny Discover EBooks
Students and faculty now have access to eBooks via Destiny Discover! Destiny Discover is a free app tied to our library catalog. It allows students to check out and read eBooks from any device. All students have Discover accounts and can use their Washington Latin Google email and password to sign in. (See this video for instructions on checking out an eBook).
If you are interested in having students use eBooks for independent reading or class work, please let me know. Our catalog of eBooks will be developed on a request basis for now.
Thanks to Adele and Lacy for piloting Destiny Discover eBooks with the 5th grade!
