Destiny

Destiny is the website we use to keep track of all of our print books and many of our ebooks. You can search it to find out what books we have. If you log in, you can also create lists of books and see what books you have checked out. Your username and password are the same as the ones we use for most resources. Students use their Student ID # for their username. Teachers and staff use firstnamelastname (or in some cases firstinitiallastname). Both use the password that you use to log into your laptop.

The video below gives a brief introduction to using Destiny.
