Ireland Library is celebrating 2018 Theological Libraries Month this October with a table of free books withdrawn from our literature section. Check it out if you are interested in older religious novels and books about literature. We are on the south campus in St. Paul.
During the month of October, the University of St. Thomas Libraries will be conducting a trial of the ProQuest Religion Database.
ProQuest Religion Database covers formal theological studies and commentary on topics of general interest from the perspectives of many, worldwide religions. In addition, there are many titles from religious publishing bodies and nondenominational organizations.
Please this try out the database and give us your comments. Click on Religion Database to connect to the trial site.
This trial runs through October 31, 2018. Please send your comments to Curt LeMay at the Archbishop Ireland Memorial Library at nclemay@stthomas.edu.

October is a special month. Yes, the leaves are falling, the wind is blowing, and the children look forward to a late-night sugar high come the 31st, but there’s something more…
October is Theological Libraries Month!
Please, come celebrate with us, and bring your friends! Here’s two ways we can suggest:
And, of course, whether you’re reading or writing, a theologian or an entrepreneur, come on in and visit us this October!
Happy Theological Libraries’ Month everyone!
Ireland Library is pleased to announce “With Roots and Wings” as the Grand Prize Winner of the Theological Libraries Month Book Spine Poetry Contest! Sean Goossens & Andrea Bettschen teamed together to create the simple and evocative poem. They will receive a box (30 pieces) of the Queen’s Assortment from Regina’s Chocolates.
The 2013 Winners of Ireland Library’s Book Spine Poetry Contest: Andrea Bettschen and Sean Goossens! Congrats!
The staff of Ireland Library thanks the following folks who made Theological Libraries Month special: our Book Spine Poetry contestants, all you who voted for your favorite Book Spine Poetry, all the student staff at Ireland who created sample book spine poetry, and especially Sarah P whose enthusiasm for social media made this contest possible.
No one sent us any book spine poetry last week. We are sad, but know you are hitting the books hard*, so it’s okay. In a couple of weeks we know you’ll be looking for a study break preparing for mid-terms and this will be the perfect little distraction.
In lieu of announcing a winner from last week, we are inviting YOU to judge the book spine poetry that our student staff created last week. The entries are below. Vote early and often at our Doodle polling site.
* Or perhaps you are not digitally inclined? Or maybe you’re on a break from social media? Good news! You can still participate in the Book Spine Poetry Contest! Swing by the library and put together a few books into a winning poetic combination. Then bring it up to the circulation desk — we’ll take the picture and post it for you!
