Pacific School Library 2020-21
The Pacific School Library is Open with Two Great Ways to Get Books!
Option 1: Come to Librarian Doña Bumgarner's office hours from Noon to 2:30 on Wednesdays. You can come to the lunchroom door and she will help you find books you are interested in.
Option 2: Students can now log in to the Pacific School library system remotely to request books and check the status of their accounts. The Librarian will be on campus each Wednesday to process requests, and you will be able to pick up your books (2 books for K-2 students, 4 for 3-6th) in book bags from the bin in front of the school office each week. Books will be due two weeks from check out - look for the printout in your library book bag for the due date and all titles to be returned.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Go to THIS LINK
2. Click on "Pacific Elementary School" near the top middle of the page
3. Click on "log in" in the upper right corner
4. Click on the blue "Sign in with Google" button
5. Use your student's school Google account to log in.
Note that Google sign-on is persistent, so you'll need to sign OUT of one student account in Google before logging in with the other.
Explore the book collection by using the text search interface, or click on "Destiny Discover" in the left column to get to the visual interface. You can also look at the Resource Lists - these are groups of books by topic that I'm creating. There aren't many yet, but I'm adding to them.
Once they have found a book they want, put a hold on it: Using the text search view:
1. Click on the book title to open the title view (you should see a large photo of the cover.
2. Click the "Hold it" button on the right side.
Using Destiny Discover view:
1. click on the book you want to open the title view
2. click the blue "hold" button.
You should receive a confirmation that your hold has been placed and when the hold will expire. You can check your holds and books out and when they are due like this:
In the text search view:
1. click My Info to the right side of the tab list at the top of the page
2. Your holds, books out, fines and recommendations will be listed here
In Destiny Discover
1. Click on the three small horizontal lines in the upper left corner to open the menu 2
. Select the menu item you need for Checkouts, Holds, Fines, etc.
