The holiday season is here! The next time you're visiting the Lamond-Riggs Library, stop by one of our holiday-themed book displays for ideas on seasonal recipes, designs and crafts.
We all love the classics; we consider them to be modern standards. Whether it's Blue in Green, Flamenco Sketches, Giant Steps, Ruby My Dear (Monk)... or even Ruby My Dear (Coltrane), we can never get enough. But let's not forget that while we love these songs and the artists who created them, we're musicians as well! We all strum and blow and drum and sing. So in the interest of musical do-it-yourselfers everywhere, check out these sheet music and CD combos!
Does the name Romare Bearden leave a “stamp” on your memory?

We will view a film and listen to music by those he influenced while creating our own collages. Join us for our Saturday Family Program on Oct. 1 starting at 10:30 a.m.All ages are welcome.
