How to log in to the Library Parent Portal

To access a student's library information, you must use an email address that is connected to a student in Skyward as the main contact. Only one email address is connected to the Parent Portal in the Destiny Library Manager system.

Step #1 - Go to Destiny Verification for Parent Portal.

Go to Destiny Verification

Step #2 - Type the primary email address that is connected to your student in Skyward. Then, click Get Access Code.

Note: If the email address either does not match what is in Destiny or is not connected to a student in the district, you will see the message below. If that happens, go to Skyward to verify the correct email.

Step #3 - Go to your email account to retrieve the access code.

• 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 re-enter their email address.

Step #4 - Enter your access code.

The screen will show which email address was used to send the access code.

What's available in the library parent portal?

The student 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:

Checkouts

View the current checkouts.

History

View the checkout history, as well as current checkouts.

Search

Search by title, author, or subject to find materials.

When search results appear, you can click to block a title from being checked out

Blocked

View any titles you marked as blocked.

To enter titles that your student may not check out, you may block a title.

You can click to remove the block on a title.

Note:  Unless unblocked by the primary contact for a student, blocked titles will remain blocked for that student across school years and campuses within the district.

From any of the options, you can choose View More Details to see more information about a title as a guest user via Destiny Discover.
