Media Center Parent Hold Restriction Process

• Juvenile is available for all student learners in all school media centers and digitally. 
• Young Adult texts become available in grades 6-12 in the middle and high school media centers and digitally. 
• Adult titles are accessible for grades 9-12 in the CGHS media center and grades 11-12 digitally.

All books are evaluated for acceptable literary quality according to standard criteria for different types of writing: for fiction, characterization, point of view, setting, plot, theme, and writing style; for nonfiction, content, organization, balance, format, style; and for picture books, style and quality of the art, the relationship of art and text, and suitability of the whole to the intended audience.

Parents have the option to restrict the books available to their child through a hold request. Parents can opt their child into a hold process where they only receive the books the parent has placed on hold each week.

This option requires the parent to log into Center Grove’s library database, Destiny, to choose books each week for their child.
