The Paseo Hills LMC collection consists of more than 10,000 items available to students, staff, and parents.  Additionally, the LMC has six Chromebox computers with Google products and access to the Internet.  The LMC is open 8:30AM-3:45PM daily (8:30AM-2:15PM on early release Fridays).

Circulation

Children from kindergarten through the 8th grade may check out books as follows:

• Kindergarten - 1 book for 1 week
• 1st Grade - 1 book for 2 weeks
• 2nd-3rd Grade - 2 books for 2 weeks
• 4th - 8th Grades - 3 books for 2 weeks

Books may be renewed once if there are no holds on the title. Students are required to renew the book on the due date. Library privileges are suspended until an overdue book is returned, renewed or paid for if lost or damaged.

We suggest to students that books be kept in backpacks when not being read. This will allow students to have their books when it’s their day to visit the LMC and to protect them from harm.  A large, plastic, zip lock bag can also help protect books from damage and spills. Please be mindful of water bottles placed in backpacks. This can quickly ruin books! Always use the outside water holders on the backpack.

Fines

Please remember… students are responsible for the books they check out.   There are no fines charged for overdue books, but if a book is damaged or lost, the student will be asked to pay for the book. Until the book is paid for or returned, a student’s check out privileges are suspended. The care of books helps maintain our library collection for all of our students.

If parents would like to limit the number of books their child can check out they may do so by contacting Meghan Zehr, Library Clerk, at 623-445-4513 or by email, meghan.zehr@dvusd.org.

Accessing the Collection and Student Account from Home

Students and parents can access the Paseo Hills LMC collection from home by visiting Destiny Discover.  In addition to checking the availability of books and creating lists, students and parents can review a student’s account, including due dates of books on loan, overdue materials, and holds. Parents and students may log in via the button along the top right. Log in using the student's Novell/Chromebook credentials.

Internet Usage

Computers are available for student use during regularly scheduled class visits as well as for students on passes. They may be used for assigned class work, research, and testing. Students and parents/guardians must read and understand the Internet & Email User Agreement and both must sign the Acknowledgements and Verifications form before students are allowed to use the computers. Computers are monitored and privileges can be canceled for violations of this agreement. The District offers students space through Google Drive to save school projects and can be accessed from anywhere.
