CPS Library

November 2009

 

The main CPS library is currently held by Shirley Davison and a selection of books is usually brought along to workshops. Please contact Shirley or a Committee member if you wish to borrow a particular book.
The wife of the late CPS member Augusto Fiorani kindly donated all his calligraphy books to the Cinque Ports Scribes. These are held as a separate library by Els van den Steen and may also be borrowed by members: please contact Els or a Committee member.
