Featured Library: Mount Carmel Health Sciences Library
In the 1950s, Mount Carmel had three separate libraries: The School of Nursing Library, the Physicians’ Library, and the Convent Library. Eventually, the three libraries were combined to form the Mother M. Constantine Memorial Library, named in honor of a beloved, longtime Mount Carmel employee. During the 1980s, the library was renamed the Mount Carmel Health Sciences Library (MCHSL) to emphasize that it served the whole Mount Carmel Community.

Featured Library: The McDonald Memorial Library of Xavier University
Xavier University’s library is located in the McDonald Building, a gift to the university by the Walter A. and George McDonald Foundation in memory of their parents, Andrew J. and Mary McDonald. The library’s history dates back to 1840 when the Jesuits assumed responsibility for the school originally known as the Athenaeum, and changed its name to St. Xavier College. At the time, the college was renovated and reopened with a library containing a collection of 4,000 to 5,000 titles, predominantly in classical studies and philosophy. St. Xavier College became Xavier University in 1930.
