Destiny
Did you know that students (and staff) have online access to search our Underwood media collection? Destiny is our school library management system where records of all of our library books can be found. The link to Destiny can be found on the front page of the Media Center website, under Quick Links. Or, go to www.bit.ly/ugtmdestiny. If a patron has limited time in the library, he/she can plan ahead by searching Destiny at home or in his classroom.

Policies and Procedures
Welcome back staff and students!
Our library runs on a self-check out/check in system. Students can check out books anytime between 8:45 - 3:30. New this year - students will not only be self checking OUT their books, but they will also be checking IN this books! This will hopefully make our circulation more efficient, and, most importantly, give more library ownership to our students.
Students are expected to understand and follow the following media guidelines. In their classrooms, 2nd - 5th grade students will be watching and discussing Media FAQ's: Policies and Procedures slide show and then reviewing the following guidelines. Once they have read and understand these policies, they will sign a contract and receive their library cards. Library cards are our tickets into the library!

Underwood’s CIRCULATION POLICIES
- Students may check out as many books as they need and can be responsible for. On average, K - 1st students check out 2-3 books at a time and 2nd - 5th students check out 3-4 at a time.
- Books are due two weeks from check out date. Books may be renewed for an additional two weeks.
- When a student has a book checked out, it is the student’s responsibility to keep the book safe. For example, when not in use, books should be kept in a book bag, book box, or shelf. Lending checked out books to other students is not recommended.
- If a book is lost or damaged, a “fine” is assigned to the student. Fines are cleared when the student completes school service time. School service time is coordinated by the media staff, the classroom teacher, and the student.
- A student with a lost or damaged book may check out books once he/she has completed the required service time.

Welcome!
Welcome to the Underwood library! Thank you for stopping by!
There have been many changes in the media center since last school, including furniture reconfiguration, book sections being moved, and new procedures. For the first two weeks of school, 2nd - 5th grade students will be visiting the media center for "Welcome Back" media/tech lessons. During this time students have the tasks to login to their Wake ID and their Google Classroom, to map out the new space, and to review procedures and policies. During the week of Sept. 11 - 15, students will be watching a slide show with their homerooms to review procedures; they will then sign a contract. Each student who signs and returns his/her contract will receive a library card. This card is the ticket to the library!
K and 1st grade students will begin visiting the media center with the classrooms the week of Sept. 11. The focus 1st quarter will be learning media center procedures, including self check out and self check in. Students who show mastery of procedures will be able to participate in open circulation (ie. visiting the library independently.)
It's going to be a great year of teaching and learning in the media center!
