Library DLT Passes
Links to sign up for each period will be available on this page after 2:00 pm the day before. You must be signed in to your school Google account to sign up.
Save the email confirmation of your response! It will be your pass to leave your DLT and come to the library. Be prepared to show your DLT teacher the confirmation email on your phone or Chromebook screen.
Please go to your DLT first for attendance, then come to the library and stop at the front desk to check in.
Have a wonderful summer!
