The Toppin Library was the working ceramic library of Aubrey Toppin, Norroy & Ulster King of Arms and for many years a vice-president of the English Ceramic Circle. After his death it was given to the ECC by his son, S A J Toppin, also a member of the ECC.

Since that time, the library has grown by gift and also by the purchase of key publications and the current issues of ceramic journals. A catalogue of the books is available to members at ECC meetings and on the Web. Although this is primarily a reference library, at the request of a member the Librarian will usually be able to bring a volume to a Circle meeting a which need not be returned until the subsequent meeting.
