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.
