contents: Some readers in an R.C. library which has the allure of a gentleman's club. Roman Catholics were advised to avoid the public library. Here they could find everything they required in the way of edifying reading material. Shallow books, periodicals which were unpleasing to God and titillating novels were not found in this library.
