The CHMS school library is a welcoming space to develop reading, learning, and creative expression.

Students must have a pass from their teacher to visit the library. Students may check out a total of 3 books at a time for a period of 2 weeks, with the option to extend their checkout time if necessary. 

The library is always accepting book suggestions from students. If there are books or series that you would like to see in our library, feel free to stop by and give your suggestions to Ms. Thomas. We strive to purchase books that best reflect the diverse needs and interests of our student population. 
 
Destiny is our online library catalog where you can search for print books to check out from the media center. Destiny can be accessed via Clever.

summer reading lists

Summer Reading Lists

CHMS encourages all students to read over the summer to combat summer learning loss. Reading helps develop empathy, improves critical thinking skills, builds vocabulary, teaches social skills, and provides a sense of support and belonging, especially for students who may feel misunderstood. Check out our summer reading lists for suggestions on what to read this summer. These lists are tailored by grade level; however, research shows that student interest and self-choice has a positive impact on reading, so many of these books can be read across grade levels.
