We have two interesting pictures today. Both pictures were taken in the Library at St Patrick's Convent School. Sr Redempta O'Brien was the Librarian and she is in both pictures. WHO ARE THE GIRLS IN THE FIRST PICTURE?

This first photo comes from Presentation Archives. The details are scant but we know it is Sr Redempta O'Brien, who was Librarian at St Patrick's for much of the 1970s & early 1980s. We also know the picture was taken in the Library. Did Sr Redempta conduct classes in the Library or was this some sort of special project? Do you have any information about this photo? Do you know anyone here? Please get in touch with us at mcallistersmith@gmail.com if you can tell us anything about this photo. (The uniforms have certainly improved since the 1950s!)
This second photo is from the 1979 Yearbook and we are fortunate to have the names of the girls who, according to the Yearbook, are Library Aides.
