Aloha and Welcome!

Welcome to Fall semester 2008 and to the Sullivan Family Library's new blog!

We opened our doors to our new library building in April 2008! You can check out the Dedication celebration here.

We will be using this blog to post announcements, news, updates, and anything related to the library, so check back here often!

And like the main Chaminade website, the library's website has a new look, too. Navigating the website is a bit different from the earlier version, so if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us or visit us.
