Ignore Report This List Description
The New York Public Library fields a lot of requests to purchase new material from our patrons. This acts as a safeguard against gaps in our collections, and often leans toward more eclectic or lesser-known titles. I have the pleasure of fielding those requests for music, and have been introduced to some great new music by library users in this way…music I would not have known about otherwise. This list is a monthly compilation of my own personal favorite patron requests for music. I hope you will check out some of this great music your fellow library users have suggested the library carry!
