  • BIG NEWS!

    The NEW and IMPROVED Library System is HERE!!!!

  • Virtual Library

    VIRTUAL ACCESS
      You can access the Parish Library from home and put your books on hold for pick up! Once you have been approved for a new library card, you will be sent your username and password via email. Once you are signed in, you can search the catalog by author, title, or subject and you can reserve items. Once you have put items on hold, please send an email to the librarian letting her know. ([email protected]) The librarian will message you back to tell you when you can pick up your items! 
  • LIBRISTA!!! 

    Now you can take the Parish Library with you wherever you go! Download the Librista App from the Google Play Store on your android device or the App Store from your Apple device. You'll be able to find our library and search the catalog!

  • While the Parish Library is open any time the building is open, the librarian is generally available about forty hours each week.  In order to be available for the various activities in the Parish Library, as well as other Parish activities, the Parish Librarian hours are subject to change.


    During the school year the librarian tries to be here at various times a day throughout the week depending on what activities are going on at the Ave Maria Center, so be sure to call ahead if you need help from the Librarian. Usually, however, she is in the library in the mornings and afternoons during the week, except on Wednesdays, when she is here in the afternoon and evening. During the summer, the librarian is generally in the library until 3:00 pm.  If you would like to check out books while the librarian is not in, you can take them up to the  the receptionist, who can check them out for you.

    Did you know that you can donate a book or other item to the library from our Amazon Wish List for any special occassion, such as a birthday, Baptism, Confirmation, marriage, or in memory of a loved one?

    Contact the librarian to find out which materials are on the library's wish list! A special bookplate will be placed in any books purchased from the wishlist and donated in order to commemorate the person or event.
     

    Volunteers Needed!!!
