Texarkana ISD recognizes that parents are the primary decision makers regarding their child's access to library materials. To assist parents in making decisions about what library materials their child can access, we have enabled parent controls on our student library checkout platform, Destiny.
Parents and guardians can view their student's library book checkouts and block or lock specific books by utilizing the parent library access tools described below.
Parents will need to set restrictions for each of their children separately within the platform.
Destiny Parent Access Tool
Book title restrictions set by parents within Destiny will immediately restrict library book checkouts. These restrictions will also be communicated to classroom teachers to restrict access to the same title if it is available in the classroom library. Please allow up to 48 hours for relevant teachers to be notified of new book restrictions.
When searching for titles in the parent access tool, search results will include titles that may be found in any TISD library, from preschool to high school. Some titles that appear may not be available in the specific school library; these titles are labeled as "Available offsite only." To search a specific school's library, please use the parent SSO portal and click on the TISD Library Search tile.
