A Fistful of Music
Music Newsletter for the Hiram College Library Community
November 2014
We have returned with another batch of hot, yummy music fresh from the oven for your
delight! With this issue, we have finally reached 1,000 items in our Northeast Ohio Music
Collection. Look for the green sticker when browsing the collection, or click on the link.
Normally, our classical music offerings would be heavy on the “B’s,” but this month we are
featuring the letters “K” and “G” as well. However, nearly all letters are represented, so
look for your favorite. Warning: Next month we will be adding lots of holiday music. Any
comments, questions or demands can be sent to Jeff Wanser, [email protected]. We'll
make more.
