Family Resource Library : Lending Library

The Arc maintains a growing collection of books and videos made possible by a variety of generous grants. All materials are loans for a four week period. The Family Resource Center Librarian has read many of the titles and has viewed more than a dozen of the videos. Feel free to call if you would like a first hand synopsis of a particular title or click on the book/video title for a brief description. Library uses are encouraged and suggestions for new library materials are welcomed.
