The St. Monica School library is a multipurpose space and a focal point for learning. Children in the developmental K – 2nd grade enjoy storytime and book selection in the Gwen Parish Young Readers area while older grades meet in the Library Meeting Room for interactive research and instruction in library skills. The library contains common areas with computers where students meet to study, work, or just relax with a good book.

The St. Monica Library collection is ever-expanding. With over 20,000 volumes and subscriptions to several magazines, the library offers books in all genres supporting well over 1,000 check-outs every week. St. Monica also offers books for professional development and parent interest for check out.

We are excited to share this beautiful space with our community!
