Rolando Elementary School Library & Media Center

Library Media Center Hours:
Monday [Closed]

Tuesday – Friday [8:00 am – 2:45 pm]

**During online learning, students are encouraged to use the online catalog, Destiny, to request books that can be placed on hold.  Families may “drop in” during library hours to pick up holds or browse the library.  All health and safety guidelines are being followed, and you will be asked to review protocols once you arrive.  Families can also bring in their library books that they may have still, before online learning was established.  Come by, take a look around, and grab a book or two!  Enjoy some adventures, reading gives us a place to go when we have to stay where we are.**

Rolando Elementary has a resource and reference library available for your child’s use when school is in session.  Your child will visit the library once a week with his/her class, and with parent permission, will be allowed to borrow materials.  Books must be returned or renewed each week.  If students lose or damage library materials, parents will be billed for the cost of replacement.   Parents are welcome in the library before and after school, and may also create an account and check out books.

On this site you will find information about our library, including student and parent resources, links to Destiny (our online library catalog), and other information you may find helpful.
