Welcome!
What’s new? Students are making summer reading book clubs with our resources. Our new library collection interface is connected from our menu here, and the instruction below helps you get oriented. Our patrons are making sure they have our Washington Post username and password for online access as well as the summer reading assignments connected at HBW’s homepage. This is a great time of the year to enjoy e-books and audiobooks since our collection is on the way to our new home at The Heights Building. Keep reading!
Take a look at the new interface for the library’s catalog. Use Destiny Discover to browse and search for books. I-Pad users should download two new apps: Destiny Discover (for the catalog) and Destiny Read (the app we use to read the e-books that are housed in the Follett E-book collection. (Your MackinVia app opens only the e-content of the Mackin Collection.)
Can you guess where each call number is shelved? Hint: look at the top and the bottom of each spine label!
Great news for students in AP courses! Have you tried it yet? J-STORis an “archive” of millions of journal articles and historical pamphlets for primary source research. It archives only PEER-REVIEWED resources. Tips for fast searching.
Our Research Guides linked under “Research” at this web page support specific research projects assigned at HBW. Use them to develop skills targeted for Middle Schoolers and High Schoolers.
Log in to the catalog (use this link) and use the “My Info” tab to check if you have any overdue books. Use it to access e-books in our Mackin and Follett collections. See books available from all of our APS libraries and arrange an inter-library loan.
