Attention all music lovers... Listen up! Memphis Public Libraries now offer customers a
new music listening station in the History Department of the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library (3030 Poplar Avenue, 4th floor). Completely free of charge, customers can access more than 1,000 vinyl records, 900 CDs, and cassettes for their listening pleasure. From gospel to jazz, rap to garage rock, and country to pop, it's all here and all by Memphis musicians!
Historian Eldon "Chip" Holliday catalogues new music into the History Department. "We have rare music that you'd have a hard time finding elsewhere, along with a knowledgeable staff who can help to provide the history behind it," Holliday commented. "The sheer volume of Memphis music we house is amazing, and no cash or even a Library card is needed for customers to access it. We just want to preserve as much Memphis music as possible for as long as possible," he explained.
The music collection is a non-circulating, ever-expanding archive of local music recorded on Memphis labels, created by Memphians or by someone living in the city at the time. Customers simply need to ask a librarian in Central Library's History Department to use the listening station.

CHILDREN
New Kids' eMagazines Added to Digital Shelves @MemphisLibrary!
Can't get your child to let go of the iPad or Kindle? No worries! Download an e-magazine for kids from Memphis Public Library's newly-expanded digital collection through Zinio for Libraries - the world's largest newsstand. These magazines, which are identical to printed versions, are free to checkout for all Library cardholders, and they never expire. Also, with no limits on the number of e-magazines customers can check out, kids can download and peruse as many e-magazines as they'd like!
Collection Development Manager Alan Stewart said these virtual magazines are sure to please the youngest readers and their parents too. "The Library has always tried to carry a wide variety of magazines for all ages, as well as all interests. We've offered digital versions of many of our most popular magazines for a few years, but there was very little available for young readers. Now, we're happy to offer a great selection of children's magazines, including familiar favorites like Cricket, Highlights for Children, and Nickelodeon," Stewart commented."
To get started, customers can visit the Library's website at www.memphislibrary.org, click the "Books and More" dropdown menu, select "eBooks & More," and then find "Zinio eMagazines." Or, customers can simply click here!
