It is the Mesquite ISD policy that parents and guardians are the primary decision-makers regarding their student’s access to library materials.
Parents and guardians can view all books and other materials checked out to their children as well as indicate books they do not want their child to check out through a parent user account in the library Destiny catalog.
Instructions for accessing your student's library information
The first tab provides instructions on logging in and setting up the guardian account. The second tab includes instructions for how to view checkouts and/or block titles from being checked out by your student.
Parents and guardians are also encouraged to communicate with the campus librarian and their child’s teacher about special considerations regarding library materials that have been self-selected by their student. In accordance with state law and administrative procedures, parents or guardians may select alternative library materials for their student.
Policies relating to school libraries can be found here.
Parents can access the online library catalog from any campus library webpage or from the district Library Services webpage. Library digital resources can be accessed by logging into the student’s account through the MISD online portal. Additionally, to comply with the law passed by the Texas legislature June 2025, all parents will receive an email notification when their student borrows a book from the school library. This email notification provides a record of all student checkouts to parents.
We welcome feedback from Mesquite ISD students, parents and guardians, educators, and community members regarding library materials and services. Please reach out to your campus librarian to have a conversation about any questions or concerns you may have regarding library materials or to suggest books for the collection.
