New Books & Films

Here is a selection of books, Canadian government documents, films and music that have been added to our collections recently.

Most new books can be found on the New Book Shelf on the Main Floor of the Library. Others may have been added to the Reference or Circulating Collections since this list was published online.

Please check the online library catalogue for the current location of the books that interest you.

The Marianopolis College Library is a member of the Depository Services Program. As such, we receive selected government publications from the Government of Canada. Most of these government documents are filed in the Vertical File. The Vertical File is located in the Reference Area on the Main Floor of the Library. Documents are filed alphabetically by subject.

Films and CDs are behind the Circulation Desk at the Library.

We will be happy to help you find what you need, so don't hesitate to ask for help!
