    Checkout/Curbside pick-up during COVID-19 school closure

    Would you like to check out books from the Roxhill Library?  You may put books on hold online and then pick them up at Roxhill.  From now through Thursday, January 14, follow these instruction to put up to FIVE books on hold for pick-up:

    • Click on the "Library Catalog" link above the pictures of Mr. Robert and Li'l Harrison on the right-hand side of this page.

    • On the left-hand side, click on "Destiny Discover."

    • Log in (right-hand side) with your SPS username and password.

    • Use the search bar at the top to search for books by topic, title, or author’s name.

    • Click the blue ‘Hold’ button to reserve a book.  If the green ‘In’ tab is on the top left-hand corner of the listing, the book should be available for you to pick up. Ignore the alert that says that the book is available now and that you should pick it up by a given date. You will pick up the book the week of January 18.

    • You may ‘hold’ up to five books.

    • There will be a supply pick-up during the week of January 18; you may pick up library books whenever you pick up supplies. (Your books will have a rubber band around them, and your name will be on a sheet of paper attached to the bundle of books.)  This is also a good time to return any library books you may still have at home!

    • If you have trouble placing your holds, email Mr. Robert, cjrobert@seattleschools.org, and he will place the holds for you!
