see what our Information Center has available,
what is checked out, and the return date. - For movies, it allows you to see the running time
as well as a summary of the movie, the rating,
and other pertinent information related to that
particular movie. - You may view Destiny from anywhere you have
Internet access from your classroom, home, etc.
