Our Art Resource Library is unlike any other library in Collier County. The collection includes 2,800 books, 141 DVDs and CDs, and art magazine subscriptions. A highlight is a collection of copies of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Madrid Codices” workbooks that are leather-bound, certified special editions. We have books about famous artists, artistic techniques, art appreciation and art history, among other subjects.

Susan H. Earl is presently the volunteer head librarian. She is working currently updating multi-media selections, adding new books and seeking additional volunteers to work in the library during open hours. There are many dedicated volunteers who help our guests on their library visits, whether they are looking for inspiration to create their own work of art or to research the biography of a famous artist.

The library is open to the public during regular Art Center hours, and NAA members may borrow items for use at home.
