• How to Checkout Books

    Are you ready to borrow some of our AMAZING books?

    Here's what you need to know...

    • Purpose:  JMHS would like to provide drive through service every other Thursday from 1:30-4:00 pm for students to pick up library books to read. At the drive through service behind the library, students would be able to:

      • Pick up previously reserved books (students can do this through Destiny Discover) that are packaged & labeled for them and ready to be handed off into their cars.
      • Observe from their vehicle or from behind a rope at 6 ft distance, a curated collection of popular books to request for curbside checkout service. 
      • Return library books to a return bin.

      Safety: To make sure that the service is safe for everyone involved, we will adhere to the following:

      • Staff working the curbside pickup will wear a mask at all times and gloves will be offered to those touching common items such as books.
      • Staff will sanitize hands before and after handling books for each student. 
      • We will require that all participants maintain proper physical distancing of 6 ft, with arms extended when exchanging books.
      • Books will be quarantined after they are returned to the site for at least 72 hours before being checked in and made available to the next student. 
      • Students will not be allowed to handle available books. They will view them from a distance to make requests if they did not make a prior reservation.

    Here are the steps to reserve a book ahead of time.
