St. Bede's Library

The St. Bede's Library, founded in 1952, is a collection of several thousand volumes on subjects dealing with or related to religion. It includes not only such works as the Bible and Butler's Lives of the Saints, but also The Gospel According to Peanuts, Jung's Man and His Symbols, T.S. Eliot's The Cocktail Party, and much, much, more.

The library can enrich your knowledge of the Bible (and allow you to compare various translations), deepen your devotional life, provide you and you children with inspirational tales, introduce you to church history, and allow you to delve into classic works of fiction with religious themes. The St. Bede's Library lines the west wall of the undercroft. Books are arranged according to the Dewey Decimal System, but can also be found by author, title or subject catalog. Doug Downey is the library committee chair.
