Share a Good Book with Friends!

Winter is the perfect time to snuggle up with a good book. Let your friends know which books you enjoy so they can experience them, too!

Don't Dry Up in the Desert!

Just like we need water to survive in the desert, we need to read to keep up our skills.

Research indicates that reading a minimum of 6 books at our independent reading level during the summer months will enable us to maintain our reading skills. Reading 8 or more books over the summer will actually INCREASE our reading skills!

Don't let your skills dry up...READ, READ, READ!

Spread the Light - Read a Book!

Lighthouses lead the way for ships in the dark. So, too, books lead us through life with knowledge and confidence so we don't become "lost" in our global society.

Let reading be your lighthouse of the world!

If you wish to return the eBook before the due date, this is where you would go. If you keep it until the due date, it automatically checks in on that date unless you “renew”.

There are Help and Exit links in the upper right-hand corner, along with a “backpack”. By tapping on the backpack image, you can see what you currently have checked out and more.

NOTE that information on the eBooks may also be accessed through the online L-BF School Library program (Destiny). When doing a search in Destiny, eBooks appear as an icon with an “E” on a book cover underneath the book title. By clicking on the title, there is a link in blue “Click here to view book” under the “Explore!” section. This link will bring you to the MackinVIA Reader.

High School Study Hall

Study Hall is a time for studying -- completing homework, doing research, reading. Students are expected to arrive with all needed materials, use their time wisely, work quietly and independently, act responsibly, and be considerate of others.
