Education

Can the Marian Library Support Instruction in Education?

Yes!

For example...


The Marian Library holds a circulating collection of children’s books in various languages. They circulate primarily to adults (teachers, parish staff, and researchers) working in early education. The juvenile literature collection demonstrates changes in how literature for children was conceived and written over time.

The Italian Marist School scrapbooks are a fascinating example of a primary school project at a school run by the Marist order in the 1950s. It is believed that some of the items may have been produced at the affiliated orphanage for young girls.

The Marian Library's collection of prints includes two boxes of catechetical posters. They provide an interesting example of the types of religious imagery used in Catholic education for children.
