Valpo Core Library Resources 2008-09: Citizenship & Service Unit


All book titles are located in the Christopher Center Reference stacks (2nd floor) unless noted otherwise; many are multi-volume works. For additional books be sure to check GALILEO, our online library catalog, with appropriate keywords or author searches, such as "citizenship" or "Kidder, Tracy" -- or ask a librarian for further assistance.

All of the internet resources have been chosen by the librarians as useful and appropriate supplemental sites.
