Summer is in full swing. This means getting outside, soaking up some sunshine, and listening to our favorite tunes—from oldies-but-goodies to today’s hits. In Episode 97, Call Number covers music.
Some libraries offered programs, hosted listening parties, and transformed into mini concert venues to celebrate their favorite musician’s latest release. American Libraries Associate Editor and Call Number host Diana Panuncial speaks with Kafi-Ayanna Allah, adult services program coordinator at Orange County (N.C.) Public Library; Yesenia Baltierra, assistant library director at Placentia (Calif.) Library District; and Lizbeth Gamez, public service specialist at Dallas Public Library, about events they organized for local patrons who love Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and K-Pop.
Then, library workers at the American Library Association’s 2024 Annual Conference and Exhibition in San Diego share memories from the first concert they attended.
Finally, American Libraries editor-at-large Anne Ford speaks with librarian and Grammy Award–winning French horn player Joy Worland. Worland is the consultant for continuing education and small and rural libraries at the Vermont Department of Libraries. She has performed regularly with a number of professional orchestras and chamber music groups, including the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, where she earned multiple Grammy Awards as associate principal horn. They discuss her illustrious career as a librarian and musician and how the worlds connected.
