OSV News lists 10 Catholic saints on Libby library app

Digital collections of spiritual classics by Catholic saints are available through the Libby library app. Patrons with a library card can borrow e-books and audiobooks for free on phones, tablets, or computers through many public library partnerships.

Available titles include the Rule of St. Benedict by Saint Benedict of Nursia, the Dialogue of Saint Catherine of Siena by Saint Catherine of Siena, and the Interior Castle by Saint Teresa of Avila. Other works listed include the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius and the Autobiography of St. Ignatius by Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the First Apology of St. Justin Martyr by Saint Justin Martyr, and Utopia by Saint Thomas More.

The selection also features works by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, such as On Loving God, and Saint Francis de Sales, including Introduction to the Devout Life. Saint Bonaventure is represented by Holiness of Life, The Nightingale, Expositio Missae, and The Life of Saint Francis of Assisi. Blessed Raymond of Capua is listed for The Life of Saint Catherine of Siena.

Because libraries curate their own catalogs, availability and waitlists vary by location. Patrons may request specific titles for purchase through their local library if a desired book is not currently available.
