Books

Our circulating books are generally located on our second floor. They circulate for 3, 6, or 16 weeks, depending on the patron category of the person checking out the item. (More information about circulation can be found on our policies page.)

All of our books have Library of Congress classification. Call numbers beginning with the letter "M" designate books specifically about music. Thus, 99% of our books (and scores) will begin with either M, ML, or MT. However, the library carries a limited number of books with designations from other areas (A through L; N through Z).

subclass M Music Scores
subclass ML Literature on Music
subclass MT Musical Instruction and Study

For a further breakdown of these and other call number areas, see the Library of Congress Classification Schedules.
