How can the BMS LLC help you?

We provide much more than book checkouts! We are your headquarters for all things chromebook as well. You will receive your chromebook from us, and come to us when your chromebook needs help. We will try to help you fix the issue, and if we can't: we will fill out a technology department help ticket.


Speaking of book checkouts- let's go over some library policy!

  • Books are checked out for three week time periods

  • We do not charge late fines- just if a book is damaged or lost

  • You can browse our book collection through the BMS Destiny Discover page

  • Log into Destiny Discover using your BPS user name and password which is your 6 digit student ID (also known as "lunch number" by many students)

  • You can make a list of your "want to read" books in your account in Destiny Discover

  • You can renew a library book as long as there isn't a hold on it

For 2022-2023: Library visits are back! Your ELA teacher will bring you for class checkouts. In addition, you can stop in during morning passing time or Tiger Two to check out a book- just get permission from your Tiger Two teacher first! Another option is to use our Student Book Request Form. Then we deliver it on a cart to your Tiger Two room.
