Zombies, now THEY are scary!

Books (& scores) are NOT scary

We just threw that picture in to get your attention, we promise that books are not scary.

We were saddened to learn from one of our Music Faculty that some of her students reported in class today that they are afraid of books. In the hopes of helping them overcome their fear we present the following evidence from our collection.





NO FEAR!

She's adorable, not scary.

And lastly, we offer this FRIENDLY score.

Overcome your fear, read a book. :-)

Love,
Your Music Library Staff

Alternate (e-waste) Recycling site in Music Library!

Maybe you don't know what to do with that battery that has run out...or that cell phone that doesn't work anymore?  Well, we have an e-waste recycling bin in the Music Library (and there is one in the basement of the main libary too). 

E-waste represents 2% of America’s trash in landfills, but it equals 70% of overall toxic waste. “Recycling E-waste makes sense for the planet, our finances and our health.” he said. Those with questions may call the OWRR (Office of Waste Reduction and Recyling) at 4-5192.


Here is info from a Campus Weekly article from August 9, 2011:  http://ure.uncg.edu/prod/cweekly/2011/08/09/batteriesanddiscs/

Electronics, or “e-waste,” may not be tossed into the trash. Electronics are defined as batteries, computer parts, cell phones and computer media (such as CDs, DVDs and tapes).

Batteries (all types)

Ink Toner Cartridges

CDs/Floppy Discs

Electronics

Cell Phones

Spread the word and keep these toxicities out of the landfill!  THANKS!

More to come on the greening of the Music Library (Green Office Program next!).  Stay tuned!

Music Library circulates media more widely

UNCG Music Library is circulating media to students for a week.  After years of operating as a "teaching collection" we decided that because of more realiable online options (Naxos, Music Online, etc.) we could finally circulate physical media (CDs, DVDs, LPs - yes, we have vinyl - and videos) to our students.  Everything but recital recordings, that is, because they are more specialer.  More info on our website:
