RIX-A THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLTC LA YMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA FEBRUARY 28, 1948 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. Council of Women Meets in Spartanburg (Special to The Bulletin) SPARTANBURG, S.
