Dear Renton HS Students & Families,

Now that some of our students are back in-person, we have different ways you can access library materials. Please see below for the situation that best meets your current needs. Remember that we have a lot of digital content available through our online catalog too! Click on the Follett Destiny icon when you login to the RSD login portal. Click the following link for instructions on how to access our catalog and Place a Hold on Books in Destiny. 

IN-PERSON STUDENTS: You will place holds for materials using our online catalog. When I see your request I will pull the materials and deliver them to you in class. You can return materials at any time to the drop box locations on the 2nd floor. 

REMOTE LEARNING STUDENTS: You will place holds for materials using our online catalog. When I see your request I will pull the materials and send you an email to coordinate pickup. You will be responsible for picking up and returning the materials to RHS.

 

What are the open hours for the library?

Monday - Thursday: 07:00a - 01:30p

*Library may have extended after school hours on days when homework help and tutoring occur.

How do teachers schedule class time in the library?

The library is reserved on a first come, first served basis. You may email a request or stop by the library to schedule. I will send a follow-up email and share a link to the library calendar on Outlook. Please check the calendar prior to sending a request.

Why would a student or class go to the library?

Some ideas include:

Independent reading book selection
Research
Collaborative learning/use of larger learning space
Cross-curricular projects

Can students visit the library during class?

Yes, students can visit the library with teacher approval. They MUST HAVE A SIGNED PASS and will be required to sign in/out.
