Also, new to the discovery interface are customizable homepage options for news, links and more, as well as easy-to-see search results and clickable links.
- Destiny Library Manager. Two new enhancements will protect patron information and privacy during the self-checkout process. Plus, new options are being introduced to streamline the book check-in process at any site in the district.
