After a quite hectic beginning of the year, we've finally cleared up all the backlog of requested loans, so things should be a bit more timely from now on. I hope that the beginning of all of your year's have been great.
The library took in a record number of requests in mid-August starting with over 140 titles for NYSSMA festivals across New York State. Unfortunately, getting all of those ready for shipment (including any needed repairs to the music) ran into all of the requests from the school districts and things got a little bogged down. I've already addressed the situation with NYSSMA and they have agreed to move back the ordering from the various zones so that the music requests get to the library a couple of weeks sooner starting in 2011. Hopefully this will alleviate the overlap between NYSSMA festivals and the districts start-of-year orders.
The library has now grown to 4,100 titles (that's up from 3,100 when I took over in 2006) and will continue to grow, so make sure you check back here at the Library News blog on a regular basis. Also, don't forget that you can always get sample copies of a piece for your review to determine if it is suitable for your ensamble.

Sample Copies For Summer
Just a reminder that the Music Library offers our music sample service where member districts may borrow single copies of pieces for evaluation. This is a great thing to do over the summer when you are away from the pressures of the classroom.
Ordering samples is the same as ordering whole pieces. Simply send the list of items that you would like to review to Roger Wink via the e-mail system or to roger_wink@boces.monroe.edu. If you are ordering an instrumental piece, please let us know if you need all parts or you would prefer just the score.
We will get the pieces out to you before the end of the school year. All that we ask is that you return the copies either during the summer when you are done or on your first day back at school. This is especially important with instrumental pieces as we may need the piece for AAS.
