| WELCOME |
In the mid fifties two Anderson ladies, Lena Brockmyer and Cecilia Voss discussed starting a Catholic book store and information center. They were later joined by Emma Laughlin and the three of them started the Notre Dame Book Shelf. The first shop opened in a local business building. From there the Notre Dame Book Shelf moved to Mrs. Laughlin's home where she ran the shop alone. When Mrs. Laughlin retired Mrs. Pat Short took the shop to its present location at 1219 Fletcher Street. After 27 years Mrs. Short retired and passed the Notre Dame Book Shelf on to Anthony and Joanne Smith. It is with pride that Anderson can boast of a 50-year plus presence of a locally owned and operated business that turned an idea into a labor of love.
On Saturday October 4th,2008 we held the successful blessing of the animals with Father Bob Williams initializing and completing the blessing. Thanks to all who attended including the student nurses for free blood pressure checks and a special thank you to a local writer Violet Ryan.
Sincerely, Anthony & Joanne Smith
