The CMC comfortably seats 40 students at study tables and has two group study rooms.
Picture and Fiction Collections The Picture Book and Fiction collections contain picture books for younger readers, sometimes referred to as easy readers, and juvenile fiction materials. Fiction books include young adult novels or chapter books for children. Several award-winning fiction and picture books are added to the collections each year and include Newbery Medal, Caldecott Medal, and Coretta Scott King Award materials.
