The Canizaro Library is a wonderful resource not only for the students of Ave Maria University but also for the residents of Ave Maria. The large collection of Catholic books, magazines, movies, CDs, and reference materials makes The Canizaro Library a great place to grow in Catholic intellectual and spiritual formation. All residents of Ave Maria are able to check out library materials with a valid driver's license showing that they live in Ave Maria. In addition, those that are a part of the Southwest Florida Library Network (SWFLN) are also able to check out library materials with appropriate library card and sticker.
