Philip Groia Global Studies Collection

Philip Groia, who taught social studies at Paul J. Gelinas Jr. Junior High School for over 30 years and who passed away in 2014, left a substantial bequest to build a global studies collection at the library.

New items added to the Philip Groia Global Studies Collection can be found in in the Delaney Room on the first floor of the library or online here.

Mr. Groia was also an authority on doo-wop music.  We have his book, They All Sang on the Corner, in our collection.
