Catholic Library Association

University of St Mary of the Lake, Mundelein, IL

Yes! The call for Catholic Librarians of Illinois and NW Indiana is here! We hope that CLA members whether on the national or local level can attend this important meeting to reinvigorate our regional chapter. Ms. Lorraine Olley, library director of the University of St Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary has graciously offered to host the meeting in the renovated Feehan Memorial Library (1929) and newly added McEssy Theological Resource Center (2004). The original building interior was designed after the library of the Barberini Palace in Italy. For those who have never seen the Mundelein Seminary (www.usml.edu) it is well worth the drive as the seminary is situated on nearly 1,000 acres. Due to the presence of the Catholic Library Association Executive Board meeting in Chicago, many CLA officials will be in attendance, President Cathy Fennell, Sr. Jean Bostley, Executive Director and Annette Thibodeaux, coordinator of CLA sections and chapters. If you are a librarian in Illinois or NW Indiana join us for this important meeting as we shape CLA’s future goals and plans. Details will follow.
