Goodbye Athena! Hello Destiny!
As of November 4th, 2009 Daniel Hand's Library Media Center will be replacing their old automation program, Athena, with the new and improved Destiny. This means better search options and instant access to our e-books! The program is web-based, which means you can search for library books anywhere in the school.
