We have had a great year finding new books to read and escaping to new places through the words on the pages. Continue to read over the summer by using SORA in the Cobb Digital Library or Clever to access eBooks and magazines. Connect your SORA account to the Cobb County Public Library for access to more online resources.
All PMMS library books need to be returned to the media center by Friday, May 9th.

Remember, when conducting research, it is vital that you avoid plagiarism and copyright violations by citing your research sources. Most of the resources in the Cobb Digital Library have a complete MLA citation within the website to make your Works Cited or Bibliography easier to complete. Get more information at plagiarism.org
Check Out Policy
Students may check out two books for three weeks, with the option of renewing if more time is needed. Students may renew books in their Destiny account or come to the media center with the book to renew it in person. If a book is not returned on time, we do not charge fines, but we do require the return of overdue materials before anything else is borrowed. If a book is lost or damaged, we must charge the replacement cost of a "library bound" copy of the book. Replacement costs can be found on Destiny. Reference books may be checked out once for a maximum of 5 days.
The media staff is often asked for suggestions/recommendations for a "good" book or for help finding a book on a certain Lexile. We would like to offer the following websites to aid in your search:
