Directions for Students to Put Library Books On Hold:
* In your Student Portal, click tile that says, "Follett Destiny." It has a picture of a tree. Select our school, "Del Dayo." Choose "Destiny Discover" and log in with student ID. Here's what you'll find:
*Search for a book and it will tell you if it's IN or OUT. You can put the book on hold. (Out means you'll be next in line to check out the book). Once you press "IN" you then press "Hold It." Do not press on "ASK" - these books are not available in the Del Dayo Library.
*Make a "Want To Read" list for future check outs by marking books as "Favorite"
* Use the Topics Icons to search for books in a specific genre - ie: Fantasy; Adventure; Mystery
Press the three lines at upper left of the home screen to view the books you've put on hold. Once they are on hold, Mrs. Alcalay will get a message and she'll pull the books and check them out to you.
*If you put a book on hold and then change your mind, email Mrs. Alcalay. She'll remove the hold.
*Need to renew? Books will be renewed one time only as long as there are no "holds" or other students requesting the book.
Future Curbside Pick Up Dates: Wednesdays, March 17, April 14 and May 12
