The Marian Library enriches campus intellectual life and aesthetics through exhibits that can be used as instructional tools in the classroom as well as foster the joy of discovering Mary's person and beauty.
Since 1988, the Marian Library has curated exhibits featuring items from its expansive permanent collections; it also has showcased the work of over 125 contemporary artists. Starting in 1989, the Marian Library produced online versions of gallery exhibits in order to make the works accessible worldwide.
