Though our library is curated with middle school readers in mind, some titles may include some mature content.   For this reason, I always encourage families to be familiar with the books their children are reading.

Thank you,
Mrs. Longo

Instructions for Downloading and Using the Destiny Discover App for Listening/Reading Virtual Content on a Personal Device


Please come to the library before school, starting at 7:45, and during homeroom if your Chromebook is not working to receive a loaner Chromebook for the day.
  If you encounter a Chromebook issue during the school day, please submit a student ticket and come to the library to receive a loaner.   Also, you may come to the library the first time you have forgotten your Chromebook at home to borrow a loaner.   If you forget your Chromebook at home a second time, please go to the main office and call a parent or guardian to bring it into school for you.  


If you're looking for a great book, but aren't sure where to start, complete a keyword search on "Nutmeg Books" within Destiny to see all the current and former nutmeg nominees available in our library.
