Summertime, and the livin' is easy.........

Well Summer is finally here and there is definitely a change of pace around the library. Some of the SY guys have been in this week as they return from their month-long retreat and prepare for different summer opportunities. Cleaning out their rooms and finding all of those long lost library treasures has given them another opportunity to visit us.

This is a good opportunity to remind all patrons that with a Library Card and a PIN, they can access their account online and check to see which items are charged out to them. If items are not overdue, it may be possible to renew materials online also and thus avoid any penalties. If you don't know your PIN, please contact Fiona Turnbull at 303-714-3146 fiona.turnbull@archden.org and she will gladly help you.

For those who don't already know, Emery Butler, our Reference Librarian, will be leaving at the end of the month to pursue opportunities in California. Please feel free to stop and wish him well before he leaves.

Next week the Catholic Book Club meets to discuss "Godric" by Frederick Buechner - more details can be found by clicking on Book Club link

This week at the Vehr Theological Library - June 11th

Things are a little slow at the library since it is summertime and most of our seminarians are away. Madeleine Dodge still has her artwork on display in the St. Columba room and this exhibit will last through the summer.

In July, we will be hosting the Catholic Relief Services travelling exhibit "Children Left Behind", a hands-on, interactive exhibit about AIDS orphans.

If you haven't had a chance to catch the movie, "Into Great Silence", it is still showing at Chez Artiste which is just around the corner from us.

Looking for something different? How about joing the library staff at Naropa University's celebration of the 50th anniversay of the publication of "On the Road". We all hope to join in the marathon read on June 30th. The Kerouac Festival should be one a summer highlight for any literature lover!

Don't forget the Book Club meeting on June 27th when we meet to discuss "Godric" by Frederick Beuchner
