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!
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
For help with research or finding reading materials, contact a CMS school librarian.
