We have an ukulele library!

We have an ukulele library!

Nope, we’re not “sssshhhhing” anyone in our library. The materials in the new Ukuleles of Paradise library are meant to help you makes some great music (noise?) and help you play better.

In addition to a copy of The Daily Ukulele for use during meetings, the library of Ukuleles of Paradise now has a wealth of learning materials. I’ve put the word out about our lending library and a Bay Area friend in the ukulele world has gifted us with some wonderful resources. This donation was at no cost to us, meaning I’ll be using the money we have in our “fund” to buy even more items. (Thank you very much, Peter and Craig!)

Go here to browse the titles in our library (I know, it says “My Library” and has my photo, but I can’t change that heading in the library software—it really is our library for Ukuleles of Paradise!). The library shows a short description of each item; I’m looking forward to member reviews of their favorite learning materials in the library and I’ll include those reviews in the description. Members may borrow the materials (one at a time, please) at no cost for one month. All you need to do is send me an e-mail ahead of time and I’ll bring the items to the meeting. I figure that’s easier than me becoming a human packhorse and hauling them all to each of our meetings!

These materials are not for duplicating (copyright laws clearly prohibit the copying of items not in the public domain) but for you to borrow to learn from—and perhaps decide to buy a copy for yourself.
