Join the Lopez Island Library and Friends of the Lopez Library for the 2nd Annual Musical Instrument Petting Zoo on Saturday, July 18, from 1:30-3:30 p.m. at the Library. The zoo was created to introduce kids to instruments and to showcase the library’s collection for loan. (Instruments available for checkout are acoustic and electric guitars, banjo, mandolin, cello, clarinet, flugelhorn, French horn, electric keyboard, recorders, ukulele, viola, and violins. A selection of print, audio and other music resources for children and adults are also available). Last year, an estimated 40 kids and 30 adults filled the library with sound and good vibes, transforming the space into a music school. Our generous and talented local musicians from Lopez and Orcas Islands – both adults and children – will be on hand to teach and demonstrate the instruments. Don’t miss this opportunity to introduce your child to the world of music. Instruments furnished!
