December Additions to the Hiram College Library's Music Collection

December Additions to the Northeast Ohio Music Collection at the Hiram College Library

We thought we’d post this now, since we won’t be adding any new music to the library’s collection until January.  We added quite a few Northeast Ohio items this last month, some of which we are the only library to have (at least for now).  These are the older ones we didn’t review.
