The Delaware Valley Paperweight Lending Library was established in February 1998 through the donation by loyal DVPCA member Martha B. Darlington of her entire paperweight reference book collection for this purpose.

This Lending Library contains many of the major reference works published over the past forty years and is periodically augmented with new texts as they appear. It is available to members of DVPCA, with all shipping costs borne by the borrower. Items may be borrowed for three months at a time (the usual interval between meetings). Apply to the Librarian for your choice of reading matter.
