Students can also earn books by making positive behavior choices, doing well academically, or improving in these areas. All staff members have the opportunity to nominate a student to get a free book. They will also have a little slip that explains why the student was nominated.

Lost or Damaged Book Replacement

This year, you will be able to help support the Scobee Library by purchasing books for the library! This will also be used to take care of any lost or damaged books. You will go the website- and make your purchase using a credit/debit card. Bound to Stay Bound will do all the rest! They will catalog and send the book to our library to be added to the collection! It's that easy!

Logging Into Destiny Catalog Logging Into Destiny Catalog

Students MUST log into the library Destiny catalog using Class Link. When users click the Destiny Catalog, it should automatically log them in. This is where students can look for books and check their account to see what they have checked out.

Databases Databases

NISD students have access to many databases. They can access them through the NISD portal-NISD Library Services or by going to the Scobee Library Catalog. Databases are NOT solely for research. Students can explore these databases. I will be teaching students the process very early in the school year.

E-Books E-Books

We have several options for students who prefer electronic books. Each of these can be accessed from the Scobee Library Catalog and/or NISD Portal.

  • SORA ( on your portal)
  • Follett e-Books
  • Capstone e-Books
  • Tumblebooks
  • LightBox
  • Mackin eBooks

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

The Scobee Library is always looking for volunteers!! If you have as little as 15 minutes, you can volunteer. After you are trained in how the library operates, you can volunteer at any time during the day!

These are some tasks that I always need help with:


  • Picking book carts of books up from classrooms
  • Checking books in for the day
  • Delivering book carts to classrooms
  • Organizing books and shelving
  • Making copies
  • Making bulletin board displays
  • Book Fair

Reminder-you must complete a new background check each year. Click the button below.

This is my 25th year teaching, my 10th in the library. Before becoming a librarian, I taught grades K, 1, 2, 3, & 5 in NISD. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Education, a Master Degree in Curriculum & Instruction, and a Master Degree in Library Science. I am excited to be returning as the librarian for Scobee Elementary!
