Destiny Discover is the name of our Library Catalog. All students in grades three and up & staff have library accounts they can use to make book lists (aka Collections) & place holds on books.

A collection is a list or group of books in the Destiny library catalog. The library creates themed collections for everyone to see.
You can create your own private collections in your Destiny account. They are a great way to keep track of books you want to read or even books you’ve read. Use the adjacent slides to learn how to create your own collection.

The Driscoll Library has Playaway devices, an audio recording of a book on a self-contained MP3 player. These devices are available for students in grades four and up to borrow.
Just as with other library materials, we ask families to replace lost or damaged Playaways. Playaways are more expensive than books, often costing between $50 and $75. If you do not want your child borrowing Playaways, please have that discussion with your child. The Library does not keep a list of borrowing privileges.
Read or listen to eBooks and audiobooks from the state funded collection. Select "Brookline Public Schools" as your school (not Driscoll) and login using your school username and password. Watch this video for how to use all functions.
Can you find the book you want on the Driscoll Library shelves?
Here is your chance to practice finding both fiction and nonfiction. Remember, fiction is in ABC order by the author's last name. Nonfiction is organized by the number order of the Dewey Decimal System.
