Review Books

Overview

When students are logged in to our library system, they have the ability to write their own reviews. Successful review writing requires several components:

1. Students must understand what ratings mean and how to rate a book (see the Book Ratings page);
2. Students must have clear instruction as to the components of a good book review;
3. Students must understand that their writing must be correct in order for their book review to be published;
4. Book reviews must be reviewed by a certified staff member in order for the book review to be published.

If you would like to be able to approve book reviews, please talk with your school library staff. They will request that your Destiny account be upgraded to include approval rights.
