Welcome to Peter's Pense

Peter's Pense is a non-profit library that specializes in Catholic books, pamphlets, audio (CD,tape), and visual (VHS,DVD) materials. Our purpose is to provide materials containing Catholic teaching, history and practices as well as family-oriented materials which conform to Christian values.

The library is open to all and intends to service the people in Sidney and its surrounding communities. Please come and look at our availabe materials online or by visiting the library. We do have a reading area available for those who want to read our materials while at the library, whether or not they have a library card.

All materials in the lending library will be in keeping with the teachings of the Magisterium.
