Lorelei Legacy Library - review of book lists requested by July 13

Lorelei Claire Truett (6/3/2007 - 12/2/2021), LOVED to read, and especially the classics. Lorelei's family is establishing a lending library for her home parish, The Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul, as a living legacy for her fellow parishioners to enjoy for generations to come. Books will include Lorelei's favorites and will range from preschool through young adult, both secular and Catholic, and adult titles may be added eventually.

Many books have already been donated to the library by friends and homeschool groups who knew Lorelei. The hope is to periodically refresh the library with new books. 

Lorelei's library is going to be set up on the existing shelves in the hallway next to the church, near the Ombrellino Gift Shop. We will make space by reducing the collection of adult books that are there already to make room for the children's books. 

The Truett Family's Proposal for Lorelei's Library, approved by Fr. David Carter, Pastor and Rector of the Basilica

 

We Ask Your Help

As the library is being started, we are asking the Basilica Catholic Motherhood ministry to take stewardship of the approval of books, and we invite all parishioners to participate in the review of the proposed book lists. 

• Please review these book lists:

1. Books that have already been donated (posted 7/6/22)
2. Additional books that are proposed (posted 7/6/22)

• Please email us by July 13, 2022, at admin@stspeterandpaulbasilica.com, with the name of any book and the reason you think should not be included, before we begin labeling the books to set up in the library. Thank you for your help!
