Keeping you up-to-date on what's happening at your library. We invite you to join in the conversation!

Listen @ your library!

One of my very favorite musicians is playing at the Webster Theater in Hartford this Monday the 24th – Ani Difranco. Maybe you've heard of her...she is pretty popular, or maybe not...you're not going to find her on MTV, she started her own label, Righteous Babe Records, in the early 90's to release her music on her own terms. She's a self described 'little folksinger,' but she's really more than that, she's a poet, an activist, a business woman, a feminist icon, an artist. I've seen her at least ten times now, but I can't help myself, I'll probably go on Monday night and make it eleven. We don't have much Ani here at the library, but we have a TON of great music for all tastes, from classical, to soundtracks, to country, to rock. Some of my other favorite women singers that we do own include:

   

Gotta love Joni!

     

Cat Power - one of our new YA CD's!

Regina Spektor - another one of our new CD's in our YA section. 

And last, but not least, here is a new book we own on some ladies that rock - I'd love to read it, but I can't get my hands on it! It has been very popular, every time it comes back it gets checked right out! 

Girls like us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon - and the journey of a generation, by Sheila Weller

Everyone knows we have books, DVD's, computers, newspapers, but I think sometimes people forget all the great music we have here at the library. Next time you're in browse our CD collection - you wont be disappointed!

I've heard of Ani for a long time but have never listened to her. Perhaps we'll be seeing a new addition to our YA music library? When we do, I'll check her out. I've also looked at the Regina Spektor album but never took out. I hadn't heard of her before but the cover interested me. With your endorsement, I'll have to come check it out. I'm always interested in good music advice. Thanks!
