ONE ACCESS CMS/CMPL

All CMS students have access to the Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Library. 

ONE Access is a collaboration between Charlotte Mecklenburg Library and CMS that has been in place since 2015.

CMS students can check out CML resources, including physical books from the library as well as e-books and e-audiobooks.

Their CMS Student ID number is their library account number.  The PIN is the last 4 digits of the Student ID.

Other digital materials available:

A list of sites for free e-books is below. These can all be used independently. I do also have a list available of sites that should be used with supervision (as there are books intended for adult readers as well). If you would like to have the complete list, please e-mail Ms. Carter.
