TOWSON, MD — Thirteen Baltimore County Public Schools libraries will hold off-season hours to encourage reading over the summer months.
On select days during the summer, students may visit their schools’ library to borrow books through Destiny, BCPS’s online catalog and circulation system; participate in special reading-related activities; and register for Baltimore County Public Library’s “Dig into Reading” Summer Reading Club.
Additionally, students may use library computers to browse e-books and interactive digital content at http://www.bcps.org/offices/lis/feebased/index.html. To access this online material, students should consult the password handouts that they received during the 2012-2013 school year or contact the Office of Library Information Services at 410-887-4035 for another copy.
