Destiny Library Catalog Explained
Destiny is the library catalog that allows you to search for books and other material that the district provides through all 7 of the Manhattan Beach School District Libraries. Your school may use the more colorful home screen called Destiny Discover by default, but you can "Exit Discover" (top right corner) if you prefer. Exiting Destiny Discover also allows you to access more features and search options.
