Important update: The library is now open for CURBSIDE PICKUP ONLY. You may call, email, or message us to arrange for your checkout. Our hold system has now opened but patrons will need to contact the library if a book from another library is required. New patrons are still able to sign up for cards but will need to speak to a librarian to do so.

If you wish to return an item our drop box outside the library will still be available at any time. We are also greatly extending renewals, so if you do not feel comfortable returning items, please contact the library so we can assist you.

The library is an extension of our seminarian and resident priests' home, so we greatly appreciate your willingness to help us keep them safe!

Important update: The library is now closed until further notice. We will be working from home so you may still email or message us. There will be a delay in returning phone calls.

If you wish to return an item our drop box outside the library will still be available. However, we are extending all due dates until after the library reopens. There will be no fines. Even if you have an item that is listed as "lost," any automatically generated fines will be removed upon the item's return after the library reopens.

“Jesus wasn’t Killed by the Jews: Reflections for Christians in Lent,” a small, 128-page paperback was published by Orbis Press and released last month.

Many things about the library are the same, while others have changed. You can walk in and see the same facade, visit the room pictured below, and even see the same classic wooden bookcases - built to last. Our circulation computers and DVD collections are much more recent updates.

Come visit the library and get a card today! We currently have items from our Wisconsin collection on display near our circulation desk for patrons who want to learn more about the history of the Archdiocese.

Have you seen Unplanned yet? This movie has been very popular with our patrons and has a waiting list! However the book is still available (HQ767.5.U5 J65 2014). We have other resources in the same area as well.

Abby Johnson, author of “Unplanned” and founder of And Then There Were None, poses with Eduardo Verastegui, actor, producer and human rights activist, at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. For the Oct. 25 premiere in Mexico of the Spanish-language version of the film, Verastegui, the movie’s executive director, has launched a strategy to promote the film in the country’s 32 states.
