CHECK IT OUT: Music options available locally

Marie Heath is the Crestview Public Library's director.

Did you know that there is an array of musical resources available to you at your 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 all 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. On our website’s online resources, you can access the Fine Arts & Music Collection with a valid library card.

This collection will provide you with resources to support research in areas such as drama, music, art history, and filmmaking with hundreds of full-text magazines and journals covered in databases such as the Wilson Art Index and the Répertoire International de Littérature Musicale, which documents and disseminates music research worldwide.

Performance slots

We are looking for local musicians to play in the main area of the library every Monday and Tuesday evenings from 6-8 p.m.

Contact Esther Hurwitz, 682- 4432, to book an appointment if you are ready to show off your musical abilities in front a small audience.
