How to check out a book from the DHHS Library!

While DHHS is in remote learning, students can check out books from the library by either emailing the LMC staff or placing a hold on the materials in the Destiny Library Catalog.  To place a hold in Destiny, log in using your student ID for both username and password.  

Materials can be returned to the bins under the DHHS Bridge.  Books will be quarantined in the LMC for 6 days or wiped down with alcohol wipes if the title is in high demand.
