Library

Library?  What Library?

Did you know that St. Paul's has a LIBRARY?  The Kutchera Library is just up the steps from the front desk.  It's funded by a memorial fund in honor of Fr. Alvin Kutchera, who was pastor at St. Paul's from 1936-1960.  It has been designated as a quiet study area - which is wonderful – but that doesn't mean you can't go in there to look for and sign out books.

The collection includes reference books and circulating books on philosophy, theology, scripture, and almost any topic related to contemporary Catholic/Christian thought, as well as a good collection of classics of Catholic/Christian thought.  There is a small book case for new books next to the door on the south side of the library.  Sign out directions are posted above the card catalog.  The card catalog works much like the computerized catalogs – you can look things up under author, title, or subject – it's just on cards instead of in the computer.

If you are just browsing, please be sure to put books back on the shelf they came from – we don't have a full-time librarian to put things back every day.  If you sign books out, please return them to the front desk when you are finished.  The Desk Managers will put them in a cupboard so the librarian can check them in later.
