Letter from Most Reverend John C. Nienstedt, Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis:
"Dear Friends,
"I am so pleased to be able to write this positive note with regard to the [Society for the Renewal of Catholic Libraries]. The mission of the project is to advance and promote the Catholic intellectual life through the restoration of Catholic libraries. By supplying legitimate Catholic organizations with a library that is suited to intellectual and spiritual formation, the [Societey for the Renewal of Catholic Libraries] is destined to provide a great service for the Church.
"In the past, we know the historical importance of the monastic and university libraries in the development of our Western civilization. I believe, even more so at this critical moment of history, that having access to Catholic resources and Catholic literature is indispensable as we move forward into a technological era.
"I am very pleased to be able to offer this recommendation for the Catholic Library Renewal Network. I ask God's blessing on it and particularly on Loome Theological Booksellers in Stillwater, Minnesota, who are providing this resource."
