With Christmas fast approaching, the Listening Posts in Arts are alive with festive sounds.
Listening Post 4 – the Christmas Channel, and Listening Post 7 – the Choral Channel, include the following yuletide selections to get you into the spirit of Santa, pressies and sing-a-longs around the Christmas tree.
There are eight jukebox listening posts in the Arts Reading Room, where you can listen to CDs from the audiovisual collection. So come along and sample some of this great music anytime, during the Library’s normal opening hours. Yo Ho Hooooooooooo………..Merry Christmas!
