CMS Library Summer News
Our library is always open!
Dear Students,
First of all, I hope you are all doing well. I know that the last few months have been very difficult and I am proud of all of you for doing your best.
I will be continuing the CMS Library Book Club this summer so if you are interested, please to join my Google Classroom: CMSLibrary@Home (Code: paboicf).
I will also continue to update virtual resources for books and other fun activities on the CMS Library website.
Summer Reading:
I have provided below the book titles, links, and information on how to access CMS Library's digital collection and the Parsippany Public Library's Online Catalog to help you find digital books this summer.
I have also provided information about the public library's NEW online summer reading program (which looks like a lot of fun) and how to apply online for a library card if you don't already have one.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at
Have a safe and peaceful summer and I can't wait to see you in September!
All the best,
Ms. Field
