The Office of Catechesis & Youth Ministry offers resources and networking opportunities for parish librarians.
A parish library supports the spiritual and intellectual growth of parishioners by providing resources for all ages. It may be a designated room with books and media, or a simple borrowing bookshelf in the church vestibule.
An opportunity for sharing ideas with other parish librarians, and to learn about techniques and resources to assist your efforts. Click for Minutes of the February 2016 Roundtable

Materials for personal prayer, study, and reflection are available in print, on audio or videotape, and on the Internet. We need creative ways to make these items more widely known and easily accessible . . . A parish library is a great asset for this purpose.
