Drive-Up Library
We are excited to announce our students are learning to use Destiny Discover (an online portal app in their Clever account) to place library books on hold! Teachers will be sharing more with students and parents this week about how this is done.
These books can be picked up and returned during our NEW Drive-Up Library on Wednesdays from 2pm-3:30pm in the blacktop parking lot.
Each student can reserve one book at a time. The deadline is Tuesday at 3PM. Books reserved after 3pm on Tuesday will be available the next week.
If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Cameron, our librarian, at
[email protected], call the library at 327-7289, or contact your child’s teacher.

Our library is committed to creating a love of
reading and learning and to supporting our students and teachers.
Every class has a 30-minute library visit
every week. Students in grades 2 - 6 may check out two books for two weeks and
students in K-1 may check out one book per week. Parents accompanying students can check out
an additional two books.
Students can use library passes to enjoy game
time during morning and lunch recesses.
Students are welcome to use the library
computers to take AR tests and search the Library Catalog for books. Some
exciting new links have been added to the Destiny Library Page, like Facts
about California, math fun, spelling sites and more. Search our library at: Lincoln's Library Website.

Accelerated Reader Program
At Lincoln, students will be engaged in the Accelerated Reader (AR) program through 6th grade. This program is designed to assess each student's reading level and reading comprehension. After a student finishes reading a book, they will take an AR test on campus. The higher score they receive, the more points they will earn. A score that is not passing will earn 0 points.
Reader’s Den Award
A student's AR points are the determining factor in earning the Reader's Den Award. Each grade level's yearly AR goal is listed below.
- 1st Grade: 50 books plus 6 projects
- 2nd Grade: 30 AR points
- 3rd Grade: 45 AR points
- 4th Grade: 60 AR points
- 5th Grade: 75 AR points
- 6th Grade: 90 AR points or 4,000 pages verified (or a combination of both)
*AR quizzes may be taken in the
classroom, library, or in the tech lab.
AR At Home
Check your child's current points at Renaissance HomeConnect.

you currently own and/or the books your child has checked out from the library
