been reviewing our library collection with an eye towards growing beyond our
current 150+ books. We could use your help! Please send in suggestions for books,
music or audio CDs, DVDs and VHS tapes of a religious, moral and/or spiritual
nature that you feel would be a great addition to our library. We are especially
interested in CDs and DVDs that will appeal to kids, as well as religious-themed
activity books. Send your comments and suggestions to diane@marcuse.us. We’d
love to have more ‘librarians’ on hand 15 minutes before and after the Family Mass
during the upcoming school year. Let Diane Marcuse know if you are interested.
