The Connecticut Valley Calligraphers established a lending library in 1986, available to all CVC members. Books, CDs and videos are available to borrow. Material borrowed at a meeting is due at the next meeting. A $20 deposit is required when borrowing the book and is refunded when the book, CD or video is returned.

CVC also has donated a large selection of calligraphy books that are on the shelves of the Farmington Library along with their collection. You can browse those shelves online at http://ibistro.libraryconnection.info/uhtbin/cgisirsi/3062ciNcwd/FARMINGTON/55440291/123

In addition to being available at the Farmington Library, the books can be requested and picked up through your local library.
