GENERAL INFORMATION

Regular hours of operation are 6:45 am to 3:00 pm. To find materials in the reference and circulation libraries, use any available student computer to search the Destiny catalog. Ask Mrs. Kent or Mrs. Medlin for assistance if you can't find what you need. You can also access the library's catalog from any school computer using the icon labeled "Destiny-Murphy." Both librarians can provide guidance in the computer lab.
