As part of its education program, The Clay Connection has established a lending library of audio, videotapes, and DVDs. These tapes are available at Creative Clay Studios and at monthly meetings for current members to borrow for a four-week period. A small fee of $4 per tape covers the cost of a pre-stamped and addressed mailer used to return the tape to the lending library. If the tape and unused mailer are returned in person, $3 of the fee is refunded. The remaining $1 is used to expand the titles in the library.
