Wachter Middle School – Summer Library Book Curbside Checkout

Wachter Middle School will be offering curbside checkout of library books and materials during summer school.  All Wachter students are able to take advantage of this opportunity.  The curbside program will be offered on Monday and Thursday from 11:30 to 12:30.  Students will need to place a hold on the books/items they wish to checkout the day before they pick them up.  When you arrive on the west side of the building at Door #21 (bus drop off area), please stay in your vehicle and your items will be brought to you.  Below is a tutorial video on how to place a hold on the materials you would like to check out.
