limited-time ukeleles (jan-may 2021)
Background:
Our library has a new, limited-time ukulele lending program sponsored by Riverfolk Music and Arts Organization. Riverfolk has provided ten ukuleles to the MDL collection, funded by generous grants from Kiwanis Foundation of Ann Arbor, Arts Midwest US Resiliency Grant, and Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation. Library patrons can borrow the instruments (including a case and tuner) at no cost for one-week loan periods. Ukulele instruction books are also available for checkout.
Checkout Details:
Ukuleles are available for checkout from the MDL on a first-come, first served basis January 2021 through May 2021. To reserve a ukulele for curbside pickup:
Toddler Time Program - MDL Youth Librarian Stacia Serafin currently hosts a virtual Toddler Time program, which prominently features her skills as a ukulele player while telling stories and singing songs. Kids and their adults can check out a ukulele from the library and follow along with her songs every Tuesday at 1 p.m. Participants can watch live or explore the video archive anytime at facebook.com/ManchesterDistrictLibrary.
Instructional Videos with Riverfolk - Riverfolk will release a series of instructional videos featuring Miss Stacia teaching beginner ukulele lessons targeted at ages nine and up. Anyone interested in learning basic chords on the ukulele will be able to view this video series online with new lessons posted weekly. Additional information about their ukulele program, including the availability of private lessons and financial support, will be available soon at riverfolkmusicandarts.org.
