Monday Medley: NRHS Library Catalog Update


 Good Morning and Happy Monday!

I am pleased to announce that the HS Media Center Library catalog has recently been updated and now includes cover images for books. In addition, everyone can now see recently added titles as well as popular titles. A section titled learning links, located at the bottom of the page, contains links to frequently used resources including the Media Center Website, all of the Media Center databases, and links to Boston Public Library online resources. Please encourage students to explore this new interface. The link is available on each page of the Media Center Website. Users can also navigate directly to the catalog by going to destinydiscover.com. Follow the steps to select MA and North Reading High School Media Center as your location. 

Click on the blue Go! button to get started. 


Search for a book using the Search box at the top of the page. Click on the Search Options and select Keyword, Title, Author, Subject, Series, Note, or ISBN to narrow your search. You can also explore Recently Added Books and Popular Titles. 



To learn more about a specific title click on the cover image. 



Click on the explore tab to find similar titles. Click on any of the subjects or the name of the author to see more books like the one you have selected. 


Use the filter tool on the left hand side to further refine your results by subject, genre, etc. (Not every book will have the filter tool available)


Interested in having the ability to put books on hold directly from the catalog? Email me at ksmith@nrpsk12.org and I'll help you set up a username and password. As an alternative you can go to the learning links at the bottom of the page to get to the NRHSBookForm.
