                           Linda Contreras Lending Library

Months before Linda Contreras passed away in early 2012, she donated her drawing books to the Rochester Area Colored Pencil Club to use in any way the we saw fit.  We honored her by creating the Linda Contreras Lending Library and we were able to tell her about it while she was still with us.  We know it made her smile.  Linda’s passion for drawing and for colored pencils especially will long be remembered when we touch these books.

 Books may be borrowed by members at monthly meetings or through arrangement with librarian, Mary Ann Hochman.  (Use Contact Us form for inquiries.)
