"All About Music!" Month and Staff Recommendations

Well, the school year is off to a great start and October is a busy month at the library!

This month we are highlighting music with our "All About Music" display.

(I purposefully did not take a close up shot of the side of the display so that you'd have to come in and read the hilarious comic I found) =)

This display is for anyone who likes, is majoring in, is involved in or wants to know more about music. The library has countless books, magazines and periodicals with pertinent, relevant information, as well as articles written by some of the top people in the business. A few areas of music that are highlighted in the display are worship, audio recording, music education and performance. Be sure to stop by and check it out and make plans to stop in next month when we highlight a different area of study.

While you're here, you'll pass right by our staff recommendations!

The staff recommendations give you the chance to see what the library staff is reading and loving. Here are just a few of the titles that are being recommended:

"This book is perfect for ages 8 and up. I fell in love with Brian Jacques' 'Redwall' series at a young age, and through years of re-reading them, they never fail to engage and delight. I cannot recommend them highly enough!" (recommended by me, Emily Skolrud)



"[This book is] a compelling read and informative account of a modern woman's travels through the Middle East and former Soviet Union. Contains thought-provoking insights into various Asian cultures". - recommended by Christa Strickler

"This tale, often misconstrued as a story of romance and passion, recounts the dire consequences of foolishly ignoring the sound advice of family and friends in favor of unbridled lust. A true classic". - recommended by Michael Anderson

These are just a few of the titles that the Hurst Library staff recommend as great reads. Check them out before they're all snatched up!
