How to Checkout Books

Are you ready to borrow some of our AMAZING books?

Here's what you need to know...

• Purpose:  JMHS would like to provide drive through service every other Thursday from 1:30-4:00 pm for students to pick up library books to read. At the drive through service behind the library, students would be able to:

  • Pick up previously reserved books (students can do this through Destiny Discover) that are packaged & labeled for them and ready to be handed off into their cars.
  • Observe from their vehicle or from behind a rope at 6 ft distance, a curated collection of popular books to request for curbside checkout service. 
  • Return library books to a return bin.

  Safety: To make sure that the service is safe for everyone involved, we will adhere to the following:

  • Staff working the curbside pickup will wear a mask at all times and gloves will be offered to those touching common items such as books.
  • Staff will sanitize hands before and after handling books for each student. 
  • We will require that all participants maintain proper physical distancing of 6 ft, with arms extended when exchanging books.
  • Books will be quarantined after they are returned to the site for at least 72 hours before being checked in and made available to the next student. 
  • Students will not be allowed to handle available books. They will view them from a distance to make requests if they did not make a prior reservation.
