Hello Del Dayo Dragons!  Here are some  event dates for the 2020-2021 school year:

Curbside Library Program For Students in First - Sixth Grades -- Next Pick Up date is Wednesday, December 9 from 1:30-5:30 p.m.

The Del Dayo Library is offering a Curbside Library Program for all students in First - Sixth Grades.  Library Permission slips must be electronically signed and returned to teachers before students may check out books.  If you have not received a Library Permission slip, please ask your teacher.

Students may put a maximum of 4 books on hold.  The books will be available for pick up at the Curbside Library Pickup Table, located at the entrance to the Library on Wednesday, December 9 from 1:30-5:30 p.m.  Masks are required.  

Every Wednesday, the Library Book Return Bin will be outside the Library door from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.  You may return library books any Wednesday.  All books will "quarantine" in the return bin for 96 hours before being checked in and reshelved.  

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 Quest" 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.

*Shelve Browse - you can see the books surrounding the book you are interested in.

*Try the Visual Search or Look at the "Public Lists" for Newbery and Caldecott and California Young Reader Medal book titles.

*"Follett Shelf" takes you to Destiny Discover - another way to search the Del Dayo Library

*Make a "Want To Read" list for future check outs

*Check "My Info" at the top of the screen and then click on "My Holds" to make sure the books you selected are 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, January 20, February 24 and March 17

Questions?  Please email Mrs. Alcalay at marisa.alcalay@sanjuan.edu
