The Wayne Hills Library is your go-to place for assistance in completing school assignments, find a good book, get inspired, or just to find a quiet place to study.  To access our catalog of books in the library, go to our Destiny Website or use Destiny Discover

We have a comprehensive database collection accessible 24/7 from both school and home.  

We have also partnered with the Wayne Public Library so that you can get a library card and access all their digital resources (including ebooks, audiobooks, emagazines, and more).

On the subject of Chrome Books- here's a link to how to make your Chrome Book work faster by deleting apps, extensions, and browsing history:   https://youtu.be/MmzOwB5mX.  

You can also view a Google Doc with common issues and how to fix them by clicking HERE.  If that doesn't work to fix your issue, please bring your chromebook to the library to speak to Mrs. Caldwell about getting a loaner.  You can also reach our help desk through this link.

Finally, here is the link to the 1:1 Chromebook initiative- it has an FAQ with answers about how much repairs cost, insurance, what happens if a child forgets a chromebook, etc.

A chromebook charging station, print books, eBooks, audiobooks, print magazines, emagazines, online newspapers and more are at your fingertips in our library. 

Personal digital devices are welcome, and may be used for educational purposes only. The Media Specialist is ready to answer your questions and assist you with your research.  

We also have an electronics-free quiet space (our Zen Den) and many games/puzzles for students to use to de-stress and reconnect with their peers. The Media Center is open 7:10 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Media Center Rules

 1. All students will be respectful and courteous to each other, to teachers and Media Center staff.  

2. Personal Electronic Devices are welcome in the Media Center, but must be used in such a way as to avoid disturbing others.  Students who are loud, discourteous or in other ways disruptive of the study environment, will be asked to hand in their device or leave the Media Center.  Please note that personal devices will no longer be able to connect to the district network.  Using a personal device will require usage of your own minutes.

3. All borrowed materials – books, EBooks, E-readers, audiobooks, newspapers, periodicals, etc. - are to be treated responsibly.  Students will be held financially responsible for the replacement cost of lost or damaged materials.  Any student who has overdue materials will not be allowed to borrow anything else until the overdue materials are returned or renewed.  In order to borrow E-readers, students and their parents/guardians must first sign a contract.

4. Computer software, hardware and Internet access are provided for educational purposes. These resources are not to be used for personal matters unrelated to school. The following are unacceptable uses and could result in a suspension of Media Center privileges:  accessing inappropriate material; using school software or hardware to harass or threaten others or to transmit hate mail or discriminatory remarks; altering, mishandling or disabling school software or hardware; making unauthorized downloading or installations of software; visiting gaming sites or other entertainment sites.  

5. No food or drink are allowed in the Media Center.

6. All general building-wide school policies are in force in the Media Center.  

Students are expected to be familiar with these and all school policies.  Ignorance is no excuse.   

If a student is found to be in violation of any of these rules, access to the Media Center may be suspended and the student may be subject to other disciplinary measures.
