St Mary of the Angels Parish Library

The Parish Library is a work in progress.

A small selection of books is currently available to borrow from the bookcase in the narthex (foyer) of the Basilica. You are welcome to borrow books but please return them for others to read.

Please return any books borrowed within a month, so others can borrow them.

Work is currently underway to provide a Parish lending library in a dedicated space, which will be focused on religious books and other resources. It is expected to open later in 2024.

Donations for the Parish Library are most welcome and can be dropped off at the Parish Office during opening hours, or left in the tub next to the library bookcase in the Basilica. Or call the Parish Office or email Kevinm@stmarysgeelong.com.au to arrange a pick-up if you have a large number of donations.

For any queries regarding the Library, contact the librarian, Kevin Mark, via email Kevinm@stmarysgeelong.com.au
