Media Center Home

Dear CCES Families,

Welcome to the Crabapple Crossing Library Media Center! I am Katie Terry, your child’s library teacher. Our library assistant is Mrs. Anna Pynzenyk. We are excited to help your child find books they love!

CCES students come to the library for lessons and book checkout. Students must return at least one book in order to get a new book from the library. We will send out late notices to help remind students if they have late books. We do charge the cost to replace the library-bound books if any are lost or damaged beyond repair. Please know that no refunds can be issued if a book is found after a fee has been paid.

• Note that students do not come to the library every week. Their library special rotates with Counseling and Science Lab.
• While it can get confusing keeping up with the class rotation, a good practice is to know the day of the week your child comes to the library and remind them each week to return any books they are no longer reading.

How many books are students allowed to check out?
Kindergarten – 1 book
1st – 2 books
2nd - 5th grade – 3 books

Our CCES library media center serves as a hub of reading, learning, and exploration. The library is a place where students can discover new ideas, explore different perspectives, and develop critical thinking skills. It also serves as a space for collaboration, research, and creativity!

We are thrilled for a new year to share books with your child! Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions.

The Media Center uses Follett’s Destiny Library Manager to maintain our library collection. Patrons access the collection using Destiny Discover, a graphics based circulation software that allows them to search for print and digital content available in their school’s media center. Whether it’s a student or teacher looking for leisure reading/entertainment, materials to support homework or lesson planning, Destiny Discover will help them find what they’re looking for.

Destiny Discover can be accessed by students through Classlink. Look for Destiny Discover on the e-Library tab.
