[Michlib-l] Music Library of Things

[BillieJo Bluemer]

If your library includes musical instruments, not just ukulele, but flute,
trumpet, and more as part of your Library of Things could you share some
information? We will be receiving a donation of assorted instruments from a
family in memory of a long term board trustee. 

 

We have concerns and questions about safely checking out these instruments
especially woodwind/brass.

1.	How do you keep the instruments clean/sanitized? Is it even
possible?
2.	If the instruments require a 'reed' to be played, do you provide it
or have the patron get that on their own?
3.	Do you even think it's possible to have a "library of things" that
includes instruments?

 

At this time, we're thinking of just accepting percussion/string
instruments. Any advice and guidance is appreciated.
