Free Lending Library
We invite you to borrow materials from our ever-expanding lending library, which contains books, videos, audio-cassettes, articles and newsletters on a wide range of topics related to special needs.  Materials are available for families and professionals.  We are happy to have visitors come to our office to browse our collection.  If you are not able to come in person, please call us and we can send you what you need.  We also have bibliographies available upon request.

We welcome your input on recommending new materials to acquire.  If you have recommendations or are interested in donating resources to our library, please contact Judy Porreca at (802)764-5290 or via e-mail at Judy.Porreca@partoparvt.org.
