Destiny is the Library Management System used in both the Lower and Upper School libraries at Egham. Through Destiny, users can access the holdings of the chosen library as well as those of all the other ACS libraries (except HS Cobham). Our resources include books, e-books, e-audio books, websites and databases. Destiny is not difficult to access at a basic level but user use would be enhanced by a workshop from either of the school's librarians.

Note about databases:
We are experiencing difficulties accessing some of our databases from off campus. You will find usernames and passwords for some of them here so that you can login off campus. For the others, you may only be able to access them at school. To login off campus, you may need to set up an Athens login through your librarian.
