Sarah Holmes and I have been busy this past semester, and we
are excited to share a few updates that have taken place inside the Music
Library. We had the pleasure of working with Sophia Varcados from the Office of
Marketing and Creative Services. Together we were able to print and install new
signage on our entrance windows, a new “hours” sign outside of our entrance and
a couple of nice signs to display when welcoming our students and faculty to
the Music Library. Sophia was huge help in the design process and even during
installation. We are very happy to have these simple, yet crucial updates to
our space.
In addition, Sarah, Dean Barnhart, Joe Thomas and I have
been working alongside School of Music Director, Andrew Glendening to move the
School of Music DoIT Computer Lab into the Music Library. We have obtained 10
computers equipped with music notation software and midi piano keyboards, newer
desks and chairs to be used with these machines, as well as a phone and laptop
charging station. We are excited for the new to us items in the Music Library
and even more excited for the student patrons that this will draw in. With the
addition of these computers, we were able to relocate one of our catalog
computers to the second floor, allowing our patrons to search the online
catalog without having to go up and down stairs repetitively. We have also
opened up some space on the main floor we like to call our Reading Nook. It
allows for individual or small group study.
Also, in collaboration with the School of Music Faculty, our
2nd floor classroom has been updated with matching chairs(!) and
outdated equipment has been removed. This space will now be used as the primary
conference room for the faculty and staff of CVPA, while still being available
for faculty and student use.
We hope that our Music Library Patrons will enjoy these new
2020 updates. Happy New Year!
