The Gesu Library is a fully automated facility that serves the needs of both students and staff. Its collection of nearly 14,000 volumes supplements the curriculum and meets the reference and reading interests of our students.
Our library software, Destiny, allows students access to the Gesu Library Catalog from classrooms and from home. Library resources are further expanded with internet access and the capability of reserving materials at local public libraries using the Internet.
Grades K-6 participate in a weekly scheduled library period during which students are instructed in library skills and introduced to a variety of books and authors. Students in grades 7 and 8 have open library, using its resources throughout the day according to their needs.
The library is staffed by a professional librarian with Educational Library/Media Certification and a large group of dedicated parent volunteers who assist in the circulation of over 3000 items per month.
