Destiny is our school's library catalog and we have many ebooks and audio books that students can check out and read.  Click on the picture above or HERE to access our catalog.  Once there, users must log in before accessing the ebooks:

username: first initial + last name (example: danderson)
password: hsd + student I.D. # (example: hsd12345

Note: If multiple siblings have the same first initial, there might be a 1 at the end of the username.

Once logged in, scroll down to ebooks or audio books and click on "select all".  These books are checked out for two weeks and are automatically returned at the end of the two week period.
