Library

Books may be checked out for a two-week period and may be renewed as needed. Reference books are not able to checked out. All materials checked out become the responsibility of the patron and lost or damaged books may necessitate a fine or replacement fee. If a book is returned late charges are assessed at a rate of $.05 per day.

Students can check out both eBooks and audiobooks through a partnership with MISBO and OverDrive. All students have been issued and eBook ID and password to access the site. Visit misbo.lib.overdrive.com and search for St. Joseph’s Catholic School. Items that are checked out for the traditional two-week period are automatically returned to the library’s collection without any fines.

Destiny Library manager is our online card catalog. The Discus and JSTOR databases are accessible year round. Students will need the usernames and passwords unique for our school. They can acquired from the library or by emailing Mr. McClendon.

Materials will be selected to support the overall school mission statement with an eye toward:

• Providing a well-rounded selection of literary materials suitable for a Catholic school culture
• Ensuring that a liberal arts curriculum is in place to foster the academic goals of the school
• Furnishing research materials (both print and online) that will aid students in preparing for higher education goals

We welcome donations from groups and individuals but will make the final determination as to whether a donation fits the selection criteria outlined above and/or if the item donated is physically useful for circulation.
