There have been changes in our library’s location since our September 2011 Guild meeting. The Capital Calligraphers Library is now housed at Bill Smith’s home studio until we can find a new Meeting place where our collection of over 230 items can also be securely stored between meetings. We are very grateful to Bill for not only securely storing our library, but shelving it on open shelving where members can make prior arrangements with Bill to peruse and check-out items at his studio.
Thank you, Bill!
Sylvia will still be the contact person for questions and renewals.
Feel free to contact Sylvia Giberti by email at librarian@capitalcalligraphers.org.
