Library Services

The mission of the Denison ISD Libraries is to provide a warm, safe, and positive environment for students to learn, grow, and explore.  We will promote and foster a love for reading while preparing students with information literacy skills that will help prepare them to be independent learners and thinkers for the 21st century.  We provide a variety of up-to-date materials to support and enrich the education of all our students, as well as support the curriculum of our teachers. 

Our goal is to promote a love of reading.

We believe that the library is a staple in not only the literacy life of a student, but also their all around education. The library should be a space where students feel welcomed and free to broaden their understanding and explore their interests. We will encourage students to read widely from different genres, eras, formats, topics, and perspectives. Because of these beliefs our librarians support free choice and strive to instill a deep love of reading that will stay with a student long after they leave our campuses.

Denison ISD believes that parents and guardians are the primary decision makers in regard to their student’s access to library materials. Denison ISD parents and guardians can create a “prohibited library book” list for their student by following the linked instructions in both Destiny and Sora. Titles that are selected as “blocked” will be unavailable for checkout.  Parents and guardians can also view their child’s current checkouts and history of checkouts.
