June 8-August 16, 2026
Join us for the first-ever Saint James Parish Library Summer Reading Challenge! Readers of all ages are invited to participate. Simply borrow books from the Saint James Parish Library collection, read them, and record each title on your reading log.
Participants who meet the reading goal for their age group and submit their completed log will be entered into a prize drawing. Please email your log to [email protected] or drop it off at the Rectory Office or Parish Library. The library is generally open the 1st and 3rd Sundays at the Parish House, to the right of the Rectory, from 10:00am-2:00pm. This summer the schedule is slightly modified due to the July 4th holiday weekend. See below.
To download the reading log visit the Parish Library’s page, stjamescatholic.org/faith/parish-library/. Our library has close to 2,000 volumes of spiritual information for all ages.
