DeSales Resource Center houses a specialized, Catalogued library of Salesian materials: books and periodicals in several languages, a "vertical file" of articles and other shorter pieces, and some audio and video tapes. Additional uncatalogued visuals (videos, slides, portraits, etc.) and some computerized resources are also available. Over 1500 distinct resources!

We have placed a listing of our library holdings on the web page at DeSales University in Allentown, PA. You can view that listing on www.desales.edu Search Page.

You will find there the listing of all books held in the DeSales Resources & Ministries library. Double click a book and additional information will appear, including a form that can be sent to us in order to borrow a book.

Anyone working on an article, dissertation or simply taking time for personal enrichment is welcome to spend a day, a week or more at the Center using our library. Reasonably priced accommodations can be arranged at a conference center on the same campus. Self-directed researchers are always welcome, and, with advance notice, consultation may be able to be arranged.

The Center and its library exist to serve as a resource for scholars, friends and anyone interested in Francis de Sales, Jane de Chantal and their tradition. Contact us by phone, fax or E-mail with any questions you may have.
