Mrs. Amanda Duffy, Librarian
Our Holy Cross Academy library is an inviting space where children and adults come to read, learn and study. Our primary goal is to promote a love of reading and help our students to discover the world that books can open up for them. Our librarian and all our teachers promote the wonder of books and guide our students to become lifelong readers.
Come join us at our Bookworm Central Spring 2019 Book Fair, located in our library!
