Students in grades 2-5 may either put a hold on a book in Destiny (non- media weeks) or browse the shelves and do self checkout using social distancing and safe practices during Media Class. Books placed on hold will be pulled and delivered to students by Mrs. Kovach. Directions on how to hold books is HERE: http://bit.ly/2T8yGBK
