Welcome back! The books included in this bulletin were catalogued in June. As usual, we are always looking for suggestions for new books. If you've read any great ones over the summer that you'd like to see in the library, please let us know.

We have a slightly different computer card catalog system this year that is even more user-friendly. All the pertinent icons are on the opening screen. Also, all of the computers in the library are connected to the internet.

For those of you who are new to Saint Ann's, the library is available for special class projects. If you would like to schedule such a project,please let us know in advance. In any event, just come in and introduce yourselves.
