Library Media Services
The primary goal of the Sumter County School District’s library media centers is to support, enrich, and enhance the educational programs of each school. These centers provide a diverse range of materials across varying levels of difficulty, designed to engage students and reflect multiple perspectives.
A library media center includes any collection of books, ebooks, periodicals, and videos accessible within the school, including classroom libraries. All materials available to students—whether in the school library or on recommended/assigned reading lists—are selected by a certified educational media specialist in accordance with Section 1006.28(2)(d)(1), Florida Statutes.
Selections are based on student interest, alignment with state academic standards and curriculum, and the instructional needs of both students and faculty. As such, elementary classroom libraries are considered part of the school’s library system, and all materials must be reviewed and approved by a certified media specialist.
Visit Your School Media Center Collections
You can access your school media collections day or night by accessing our Destiny Media System. Once you reach the District site, you can select your school. From the school site you can go ahead and browse or login with your network ID for additional features.
Through a special arrangement with your Public Library and the Florida Department of State, we are honored to provide our teachers and staff access to these extensive research tools. Please note that, from within the school district network, you will be automatically logged in to the resource. From home, you will need to use a username and password. Your school's media specialist can provide you with the login information.

Parents of students enrolled in Sumter County School District or residents of the county may object to specific materials available in a school media center. Concerns should first be addressed with the school principal or their designee. If the issue is not resolved at the school level, the individual may submit a formal objection using the district’s Request for Reconsideration of Instructional Materials form (pp-ss-131), in accordance with School Board Policy and Florida Statute s. 1006.28(2)(d)1,2.
