"You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book." - Dr. Seuss
If you cannot get into the library to see if we have the book you are looking for you can access Destiny Quest, which is our library cataloging system. It allows both students and parent to browse our library holdings, place holds, create resource lists, and renew materials.
Click on Phoenix Charter Academy College View. In the upper left hand corner choose “create account.” You will then see a space that states: “enter your last name” and “enter your bar code.” The last name will be the student’s official last name and the bar code is the student’s school ID number that can be found on their student ID card, or can be obtained from your teacher of record or any library staff. After login, you will get a page that looks like this.
