Entrepreneurship takes center stage at Marymount Library

"The best way to predict the future is to create it."

Resources on Popes and the Vatican on Display

The election of Pope Francis (formerly known as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio) as the first South American Pope has sparked interest in the Papacy and the Vatican in general. The Library has created a display that provides an introduction to the new Pope.  Also, you will find a selection of books that we have in our collection, devoted to Popes of the past, Catholicism and the Vatican in general.

To learn more, we encourage you to check out some of the resources the Library has, including articles and eBooks on this topic.
