We all know the Media Center has books. But what other things do they offer to the students and teachers of South Meck?
Programs
The media center has a lot to offer, including programs for students depending on what they need help with. Destiny is an online resource for students to see what books are in the library and which ones are checked out. You can put books on hold, write a review, make a collection, or a favorite reading lists. Destiny is also connected to the public library with Access One which let's all students get free access of the public library. They have done a sphero maze earlier this year. Spheros are little sphere shaped robots and you have to code the directions they go, if they have flashing lights, or make little noises. Tutor.com- students have free access to tutors to help them with courses they struggle with.
Online Checkout
If you are interested in checking out a book at the library, you are welcomed to do so. What if you keep forgetting to go to the library?
Well the brilliant people of our schools library (along with other schools) have a website called Destiny Discover, where you can go and check out books online. It pops up whenever you log into your computer and is waiting for you.
Yes there are ebooks, you may also checkout 5 books at a time on the website. NO charge for overdue funds and you can put books on hold.
If you do not have a computer at home there is a Destiny Discover app.
What happens during lunch?
During lunch students can go in the media center and do multiple things. Student can return and check out books, use the computers, or even just chill or do homework. The media center provides a nice and calm space for students to focus and relax.
What's new?
The media center has a new Digital Breakouts for teachers to use for their students. They also have digital magazines… But those are still in the making.
Remember, the South Meck Media Center has a website where you can find all of this information and more. Don't hesitate to expand your knowledge.
