setting that embraces the five goals of the Sacred Heart education.
The purpose of the MS Library is to provide a collection of fiction
and non-fiction materials, as well as on-line services, that can be
used for leisure reading and to support the Middle School

students and faculty in all aspects of the Library and it services. It offers students and faculty
the use of ten computers and two printers.
The automated electronic library catalog is available on
all ten computer workstations. The catalog contains the records for the
collection of all division libraries.
