“Good children’s literature appeals
not only to the child in the adult,
but to the adult in the child.”

Parents, have you taken the time to explore the district’s library system? The Internet is a wonderful tool for researching information. However, it can also be time consuming, and not all websites are appropriate or reliable sources for students. In order to eliminate time consuming “Googling” for information, the district librarians are encouraging students and teachers to use the online library system called Destiny. The catalog not only allows access to books found in each school’s library, but it also contains a wide variety of age appropriate databases, which have been chosen to meet the information needs of students throughout the district. Databases such as NASA.com, Fact Monster, Atlapeida, and the History Channel can be found by using the online catalog system. Another great feature is that all these databases can be retrieved from the comfort and convenience of home.

This will bring up all of the district’s libraries. Click on GMS, which brings up the card catalog. To access the databases, go to the “power” tab, which will bring up all of the databases. These databases are user friendly; however, if assistance is needed, please feel free to call Mrs. Hardesty at the Goddard Middle School library.
