Christ the King
School in Atlanta
Proud of Library
(Special to The Bulletin)
ATLANTA, Ga.—The library o£
Christ the King Cathedral School
did not grow from a couple of
books to 3,200 volumes by Itself.
The power behind the packed li
brary shelves is Sister Josephine
of the Grey Nuns of the Sacred
Heart.
Sister Josephine came to At
lanta in 1941 from Melrose Acad
emy, in Philadelphia, where she
had been teaching and serving
as librarian.
In addition to her leaching and
library work, Sister Josephine
serves as counselor to many of
the high school girls. She helps
the young people to solve many
of their problems by suggesting
books that she thinks will be
helpful.
For the last four years, one
of the outstanding events of Christ
the King School has been the
observance of Catholic Book Week,
during which students at the
school present a play about books
under the direction of Sister Jo
anna, and Sister Josephine ar
ranges a display of books that she
would like to have in the library.
“I get the books on consignment,”
says St. Josephine, “and guests
who visit the exhibit usually pur
chase them for the school.”
There is a special section of
the library, which is located in
the basement of the Cathedral, for
children in the grade school.
‘The library is really the heart
of school work,” stated Sister Jo
sephine, “as its equipment in
cludes a motion picture projector,
a recording machine, and files of
poster material.
Sister Josephine trains each stu
dent in some special phase of
library activity. They operate the
motion picture machine, index the
books and care for them.
Besides being librarian, Sister
Josephine teaches science and
mathematics.
