KMS Library Media Center
Welcome to the Bulldog hub for curiosity, creativity, and community.
Under the guidance of Mrs. Thomas, Library Media Specialist, the KMS Library Media Center (LMC) gives every 6th‑ and 7th‑grader a place to read widely, explore new ideas, and master the research and digital‑citizenship skills they’ll need all the way through high school.

| Digital Power Pack | Your MCPL Student Access Pass unlocks Libby/OverDrive, NoveList K‑8, ScienceFlix, and live 24/7 tutoring on Tutor.com—all free. |
