What will you do?

With Oscar fever long gone and Passion for Film not due till June, what will you do to pass the time? Visit us at the library but of course, venturing forth to the Audio Visual Department where there are tonnes of entertainment options at hand.

And what fresh excitement to see the music collection blooming for this Passover and Easter season; at long last there are hundreds of compact discs on display and in drawers just waiting for you to take four home for three weeks. Whether it be Bach, Mozart or Schubert who floats your boat or you need a fix of Barry Manilow, Barbara Streisand or Yanni, the collection has an impressive scope and variety. Some of my favourites are Baroque, Choral and Renaissance works but I do so adore present day pop culture. Rocking music groups from the United Kingdom like Bloc Party and Hard-Fi, trip hop superstars like Massive Attack or the eclectic sounds of Gorillaz please me intensely and it is super groovy to find them in our favourite local library.

With such voluminous amounts of marvelous music being released, we are often delighted with what is available and inundated with ideas for the expansion of the collection. If ever there should be an occasion where you know of something fantastic we do not have, do, by all means, use our Suggestion Book in Audio Visual or make a recommendation through our online catalogue and we will certainly take it into consideration the next time we plan a trip to the shops.
