Students may come in on passes, before school, break lunch and after school and at times reserved for them by their teachers. The library collection consists of nearly 10,000 books. We subscribe to 36 magazines and several newspapers, the Press Democrat, the San Francisco Chronicle and weekly The National Catholic Register.
