The Curriculum Materials Collection (or CMC) is a collection of children’s and YA literature that is located on the 2nd floor of the library (to the right of the Tech on 2 desk). The CMC mimics real school libraries by dividing the children’s literature section by reading levels, fiction and non fiction. Each different reading level in fiction is assigned a color dot and nonfiction is organized by Dewey Call Number (as opposed to Library of Congress Classification which is used in the rest of the library).
In this collection you will find…

Books for Beginner Readers
Award Winning Middle Grade and YA Novels
and Non Fiction Books too!
