Library

Furthering an interest in fine art

This library of the Colorado Watercolor Society (CWS) is regularly expanded through generous donations as well as by using funds budgeted for library expansion. When we do obtain new items they will be added to this online catalog. Please peruse the many items available for you to borrow!

CWS members may request items by e-mailing library@coloradowatercolorsociety.org anytime during the month up through the day before the monthly meeting (no later than the evening before a CWS General Meeting). The CWS librarian will deliver the items to you at that CWS General Meeting that month.

A $20.00 check made payable to CWS will be your deposit for one or more items (only one DVD or VHS per person per month, as they are extremely popular items). The items can be checked out for one month at which point you return them to the CWS librarian at the next General Meeting and your deposit check will be returned to you.

Exhibition Records, slides and catalogs are also available. Please contact the CWS librarian for more information.
