It is so important for students to read at home every night!! Harrison students have a variety of options for accessing digital books to read on their Chromebooks or home devices.
Destiny Discover
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.
