When may a student come to the library?
Students come to the library by scheduled class visits once a month with their English teacher, but students may come on their own at any time as long as they have permission from their teacher.

How do I find out which books I have checked out?
Go to Destiny Discover and log in with the same information as a school computer. Once in, click on 'My Stuff' at the top of the page.

How many books may a student check out, and for how long?
Students may check out 2 books and, if needed, 3.  Books may be checked out for 3 weeks.

How do I place a hold on Destiny?
First, log into Destiny Discover using your school username and password (the same way you log into a computer at school).  Use the search bar to find the book you wish to read.  When a picture of the book appears, click “Hold” in the bottom left-hand corner. 

How do I check out an eBook?
 We use the Sora app to access eBooks and audiobooks from Spotsylvania County Public Schools and the Central Rappahannock Regional Library.  To get to Sora, click the link on Thornburg's Destiny Discover page or access it on Google Waffle.  If you haven't set up your Sora account yet, you will do so when your English class visits the library.
