HEATH: Musical resources abound at the library

Did you know there is an array of musical resources available to you at the Crestview Public Library?

Whether you are a novice wanting to learn how to play the piano, or you would just like to listen to local musicians perform, there is a bit of everything for music lovers.

We have CDs available for checkout as well as musician biographies in traditional and audio formats. There are DVDs of live musical concerts and books to instruct you as you learn to play piano, guitar, drums or even the banjo.

In our website’s electronic resources, you can access the Fine Arts & Music Collection with a valid library card. With hundreds of full-text magazines and journals covered in databases such as the Wilson Art Index and RILM, this collection will provide you with resources to support research in areas such as drama, music, art history and filmmaking.

In addition, local musicians can play in the main area of the library from 6-8 p.m. every Monday and Tuesday.

If you are ready to show off your musical abilities in front a small audience, please contact Sandra Dreaden, 682-4432 to book an appointment.

Acoustic guitarist Ian Gomez is our most recent local talent. His next performance at the library is July 25.

Marie Heath is the Crestview Public Library's director.
