Destiny Discover should now be fully functional! You should be able to login with your school email and 9 digit lunch number! The icon above provides you with a link. You can place reserves, see how many books you have checked out, see when your books are due. This can access the library's eBooks this way as well. We should also be able to email you overdue notices! If your username and password do not work, stop by the library and see us!
AR Bookfinder
If you do not get your book from the SMS Media Center, you need to check to make sure it is AR!!! This is a link to a complete listing of available AR tests. If you are looking up a book that is not one that we have in the SMS Libary, it would be good to check with Mrs. Huxford-Kinnett or your Language Arts Teacher to make sure your book is acceptable for your AR requirement.
