Monahans-Wickett-Pyote ISD

Accessing your child’s library account

Monahans-Wickett-Pyote ISD recognizes that parents and guardians are the primary decision makers regarding their student’s access to library material.  While students are given the opportunity to self-select library materials and may be assisted by district staff, the ultimate determination of appropriateness for an individual remains with the student and parent or guardian. 

With this in mind, we are making our new Destiny Parent Portal available to parents/guardians of our students. In this portal you will have access to:

• View books available in your child’s school library
• View a checkout history of your child or children
• Opt-out of library books by restricting titles from your child’s checkout access

Please reach out to your child’s librarian if you have any questions or need help.

If your email address is connected to a student in Destiny Library Manager as a contact for the  Additional User Type feature, you can access their library information. Your district determines which features are available.

Note: Each student can  be connected to two email addresses.

To log in as a contact:

1. Go to the Destiny Portal Verification Page.

2. Type your email address.

3. Click Get Access Code.

4. Go to your email account to retrieve the access code.

Notes: The code expires in 10 minutes. If it expires, you can click Resend Code from the Get Access Code page. If you enter an invalid access code, you will see an Incorrect Access Code message. ● The email is sent from no-reply@follettsoftware.com with the subject, "Additional User Type Access Code." If  the code is sent more than once, after the second time, the user will need to refresh the screen, and then reenter their email address

5. From the Enter Your Access Code page:
a. Type your access code.
b. Optionally, to stay logged in from your current browers, select KEEP ME LOGGED IN ON THIS DEVICE. If you select this option, you will stay logged in for 60 days or until you log out. If you don’t select this option, you wil need to log in with an access code each time.

To navigate Additional User Type features:
Once you are logged in, you can perform a number of tasks based on your contact status.   

The Primary Contact designated for this feature has full access to all options, including blocking and unblocking titles.
A Secondary Contact has view-only access to blocking and unblocking titles.

Blocked titles for a patron will remain blocked across school years and as the patron moves to new sites within a district, unless those titles are unblocked by the patron's Primary Contact.                             

The user's name associated with your email address appears in the top-right corner. If you have more than one student in the district, a drop-down appears. To view a different user, select their name from the drop-down.

Use any of the following options:
Search: Search by title, author, or subject to find materials. When search results appear, you can click (...) on the right to block a title from being checked out or View More Details to see more information on a title as a guest user via Destiny Discover.

Note: If a patron has access to interlibrary loans, and a title is only available offsite, a note states it is Available offsite only.

History: View the checkout history, as well as current checkouts. To see more information about a title as a guest user via Destiny Discover, click View More Details.
