About the library
The
library at CKM is a bustling center of activity on the
campus. While offering traditional services, the library
also functions as the school’s media center. The library
provides students with an impressive
collection of
literature, nonfiction work, and reference materials. In
addition, to written material, the library features a
large number of computer terminals where students can
conduct academic research and document preparation for
classes. Read

and the New for more about the history of the school
and its library.
Staff
CKM’s
library is staff by a credentialed librarian and a
library technician:
Hours of operation
The hours
of operation for student use are posted on the main
counter inside the entrance to the library. In the
evening, the library is oftentimes used for PTSA, site
council, and other meetings or gatherings.
Signing in
Students
are asked to sign-in when using the library. By signing
in, students agree to follow library rules and
procedures. Sign-in information is also used to provide
statistics on library use by CKM students.
Online Resources
CKM Librarian
Jeannie Tudesko has arranged
with the County Office of
Education for our students and
faculty to receive free access
to research databases through
the
California Learns
Instructional Resource Portal.
Reference, math, history,
English, science, technology and
college exploration are just a
few of the categories found on
this resource portal.
Under the reference section,
World Book Online and Learn 360
help students doing research.
Additionally,
EBSCO Publishing is a well
regarded supplier of research
databases for schools,
government and corporations.
They compile and index books and
periodicals for online access.
This school subscription will
give our students the ability to
read and print from a wide
variety of scholarly sources for
research projects.
Students may now access this
service from school or home. The
way to log in is through the
California Learns website.
Our user id is “mcclatchyhigh”
and password is “school.”
