The Library Services Department empowers librarians, students, and teachers by promoting literacy, fostering a love of reading, and supporting high-quality instructional programs. We are committed to creating welcoming libraries where every student can see themselves in the collection, engage in meaningful learning, and develop the knowledge and skills needed to thrive as confident citizens.

The Library Services Department envisions dynamic, collaborative library spaces that inspire a passion for reading, encourage curiosity, and prepare all students to excel in college, career, and life. Through access to diverse resources, innovative technology, and instructional support, our libraries cultivate leadership, creativity, and lifelong learning, equipping every student to succeed in a global society.

In accordance with Section 33.026(a)(2) of SB 13, the titles listed below are proposed to be procured by a school library and are open for public review for a period of at least 30 days prior to board action.

Point Isabel ISD is currently transitioning library management systems, moving from Follett Destiny to Mackin Vision. This transition involves multiple sequential steps, and at this time we do not have an estimated completion date.

During this transition:

• Students will not be able to check out books.

• Parent access to library activity records will be limited.

Once the transition is complete, we will share the new system links and instructions for parent access across multiple platforms, and this notice will be updated.

If you have questions about our library catalog or services in the meantime, please contact Jessica Hedrick, Lead Librarian for Point Isabel ISD, at jhedrick@pi-isd.net.

In accordance with Section 33.027 of SB 13 and Board Policy EFB (Local), a parent of a student enrolled in Point Isabel ISD, a Point Isabel ISD employee, or a Point Isabel ISD resident may submit to the district a written challenge to any library material in the catalog of a school library using the form below. Per policy, you must have read the book in its entirety to make a challenge. Download the fillable PDF and email it to jhedrick@pi-isd.net.
