Restricting Student Access to Media Resources

Parents and guardians who would like to restrict their child from checking out specific materials from any Catawba County Schools Library Media Center should follow the procedure below. 

This restriction will remain in effect until the student graduates, unless a request is made to remove it.

  • Step 1
    Contact the School Library Media Coordinator (Parent Square, Phone, Email) and provide the child's name and the specific title(s) of books you would like restricted. That's it! We will take care of it from here!
  • Step 2
    The School Library Media Coordinator will notify the Director of Digital & Media Literacy by a work order submitted in One to One Plus, listing the student's name and the specific title(s) to be restricted.
  • Step 3
    The student's name and specific title(s) will be added to an Opt-Out spreadsheet shared with all School Library Media Coordinators districtwide.
  • Step 4
    The student will be moved to an "Opt-Out Student" patron type in Destiny, our district's Library Management System.
  • Step 5
    The specific title(s) being restricted for the selected student will be moved to an "Opt-Out Books" circulation type in Destiny, our district's Library Management system.
  • Step 6
    When an Opt-Out Student tries to check out an Opt-Out Title(s), an alarm will sound notifying the School Library Media Coordinator/Teacher that this title(s) can not be checked out by this particular student. (A password override is required.)
