Priory Authors Collection
Priory is blessed with a wealth of talented authors (students, alumni, faculty, and monks) who have been widely published. The Library decided to create a special section for these works last fall to highlight and celebrate them. Most are books, but two films starring Kevin Kline are included, too.
The collection is available in the Library catalog Resource Lists, which are on the left side of the search screen. From the list, select “Priory Authors.” The Library website also has a selection of digital publications authored by the Priory community (https://libguides.priory.org/STLPriorySchoolHome/authors) from Peter J. Hopkins ‘17, Dr. Erwin, and Mr. Toscano. Please email [email protected] or fill out this form (https://forms.gle/unK7wAD4d8Rc162e7) to suggest a publication that should be included.
