Follett Destiny Discover
The Media Center uses Follett’s Destiny Library Manager to maintain our library collection. Patrons access the collection using Destiny Discover, a graphics based circulation software that allows them to search for print and digital content available in their school’s media center. Whether it’s a student or teacher looking for leisure reading/entertainment, materials to support homework or lesson planning, Destiny Discover will help them find what they’re looking for.
Destiny Discover can be accessed by students through Classlink. Look for Destiny Discover on the e-Library tab.

Our METI- Mrs. Lisa Scholberg
Ms. Scholberg grew up in California and her favorite weekly activity was walking with her Grandma to the public library to check out books. By second grade she was obsessed with the Nancy Drew mysteries. Ms. Scholberg also had a plan to read every single fiction book in her library, and began at the A’s and got all the way to the L’s, when unfortunately she moved. Literature and learning are her favorite activities. Ms. Scholberg's favorite part of visiting Washington DC was her visit to the Library of Congress. Ms. Scholberg is so grateful to be in her dream job at Manning Oaks
