 The CMS library is a welcoming place for students and staff.  

It is a place to promote growth and learning using all materials available.  

It is a great place to find your new favorite book to read!

Mrs. Kissinger is here everyday after 9am to help with all types of book and non-book needs.   Check in with her if you need an new ID card, or fill out the Chromebook repair form and turn your Chromebook into her if it needs repairing.  

Mrs. Cote is here part-time.  You might get to say hello to her during your ELA class or other times in the building.   She will encourage you to read or participate in a fungroup such as Great Lakes Great Books reading club. 

Our CMS library theme is READ * LEARN * GROW

The Library PASS is a joint project between the Portage District Library and the Portage Public Schools to allow students to use their Student ID number as a public library card, eliminating barriers to access and promoting student success by complementing school curricula and resources with public library physical and digital resources.

Each Portage Public School student is given a Student ID number when enrolled in Portage Public Schools. That Student ID number is now their Portage District Library Card number as well. To borrow physical materials at the library, students can show their Student ID card to check-out staff or type the number into the Self Checkout Machines. To access digital materials, visit the PDL Digital Library at portagelibrary.info/digital-library/ and use your Student ID number when asked for a library card number.

The PIN number is the last four digits of the phone number on the student’s account at PPS.

With the Library PASS, students have the same access to digital services such as Hoopla, OverDrive/Libby, and Freegal as other resident cardholders
