Library

Welcome to the Fulton Library!

Library Hours:

Monday: 9:15 am – 1:00 pm

Tuesday and Wednesday: 9:00 am – 2:30 pm

Thursday and Friday: 8:45 am – 1:00 pm

 

Library Policies:

Library books are due back 2 weeks after they are checked out.

There are no late fees, but lost or damaged books must be replaced or paid for.  Students with overdue books or unpaid fines will not be able to check out new books until the issue is resolved.

Need Help Staying Focused While Reading?  Things to consider:

• Do you have the wrong book?  If you’ve lost interest in a book you’re reading for fun, don’t make yourself finish it.  Find something that interests you (maybe a different subject or author) and try again.
• Don’t limit yourself to books.  Read a magazine, for example.  Any reading is good reading!
• Make the time.  Pick a time during the day when you have less on your schedule (maybe before bedtime) so your brain can relax and focus on the words you are reading.

How to Access Destiny Discover:

Destiny Discover is the online way to see what books are in the library, place holds on library books, and access other resources.

Here's how to get started:

1. Visit gofollett.com
