First pick up opportunity is Thursday May 28 between 3:30pm-5:30pm. You can request books by placing holds in Destiny Discover or by filling out this Google Form. Please complete requests by 8am Thursday 5/28 to give us time to gather them.
Each student can check out up to 10 books!
Books may be returned during these times also. They will be quarantined 72 hours before being loaned again. All books will be checked out until August 6 (first day of new school year) but can be returned earlier.
