Our library is organized by genre for fiction. Nonfiction is in a separate section. We also have a section for manga and graphic novels. LMC staff enjoy recommending books and helping readers find the perfect book for them. We have monthly displays for cultural and historic recognitions as well as fun reading promotions. If you're not sure where to start, our displays of Gateway nominees and new books are great options.

Through the CPS Portal, students can access the Destiny icon to browse our catalog. The Sora icon takes students to our ebooks and audiobooks.
