Library Services
Liberty Hill ISD provides library services to students and staff at all district campuses in state-of-the-art libraries. Each library offers an extensive collection of print and multimedia resources, including books, magazines, online databases, and devices for online access and research. All library collections have been specifically selected to support the school's instructional program as well as free choice reading.
Our certified librarians have extensive, graduate-level training in collection development and library administration. LHISD libraries are an integral part of the district's total instructional program and are designed to provide support, instruction, and materials to LHISD students as they learn to access, evaluate, and use information from a variety of sources. All students and staff are welcome to use the libraries for academic, curricular, and instructional support, as well as for recreational reading purposes.

Destiny Parent Controls
Liberty Hill ISD values our partnership with parents when educating students. To strengthen this partnership, we have added some features to our library management system, Follett Destiny, that allow parents to view and set boundaries on the subjects and titles of books they would like their children to be able to check out through the library.
Parents now have access to Destiny Parent Controls–enabling them to access their child’s library information (checkouts, overdue materials, etc.) as well as navigate the features detailed linked here. If you need help with access or how it works, please contact your campus librarian.
You can find more information on our District Library Services website about all of the work our librarians do and how we partner with parents and the community.
FAQs
-
School librarians are highly trained and certified by the state of Texas in the selection of materials for children and young adults. School librarians undergo yearly training and review LHISD Board policies EF Legal & EF Local.
Books are chosen based on the district-adopted curriculum, students' personal interests, and recommendations from staff, students, and parents. Librarians follow board policy and district selection criteria.

The best way for you to help your child choose the right books is to do the following: ask your child to show you the books they check out, discuss what your child is reading with them, and read the books they check out with them. Feel free to contact your child’s campus librarian if there are any topics or titles that you would prefer your child not check out.

Start by reaching out to your student’s campus librarian. Librarians want to partner with families and their students to choose the right books to build lifelong readers and learners. Many times, initial conversations are enough to work through concerns, but if you wish to continue a formal challenge, contact the campus administrator.
-
If there are still concerns after a conversation with the campus librarian and/or campus administrator, the parent may complete the Request for Reconsideration form. Once received, a district employee will review the request and reach out about next steps in the reconsideration process.
