Library
Welcome to the Bishop Ludden Library
The library is open for use by individual students from study hall, lunch, or class (with teacher permission). The Library is a place for students to work on projects and homework, get extra help from teachers, and to check out the wonderful world of literature. Our librarian is ready to help students with any homework problems and project ideas. Donations are always accepted to further expand our library.
