Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools
Digital Learning and Library Services
CMS Library Media Centers serve as dynamic learning hubs where students engage in critical thinking, creativity, and exploration. Each CMS school is equipped with a robust and diverse book collection tailored to the unique needs and interests of its students. Many media centers also feature makerspaces designed to foster innovation, hands-on learning, and curiosity in areas such as coding and technology.
In addition to these resources, CMS Media Centers offer engaging programming and reading advocacy initiatives that inspire a lifelong love of reading and learning. Through these efforts, our library media centers play a vital role in preparing students for endless possibilities in college, careers, and beyond.
One Access
What is it?
ONE Access is a partnership with Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, where students have access to Library services using their CMS Student ID number. ONE Access, or "One Number Equals Access," uses students' school identification numbers instead of separate library cards. With their ONE Access account, students can:
- Access Library research databases
- Borrow digital materials, such as e-books, audiobooks, magazines, music and video
- Borrow up to 10 print or audiobooks (no DVDs or music CDs)
There are no overdue fines for ONE Access accounts, but users are responsible for fees on lost or damaged books. For more information about this program visit the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library website or contact your school library media coordinator.
