Attention all music enthusiasts, collectors, and audiophiles! Prepare to dive into the Old Town School of Folk Music Record Sale, presented in collaboration with our friends at Music Direct. Join us at Music Direct's headquarters (1811 W. Bryn Mawr) on Saturday, May 4th, and Sunday, May 5th, from 10 am to 5 pm for an unmissable two-day event.
Explore a diverse array of musical treasures, including thousands of donated LPs, rare 78s, essential books, CDs, and DVDs, alongside premium records and equipment sourced directly from Music Direct’s warehouse. Saturday shoppers can enjoy a live performance from 1-3 pm by Steve Dawson & Diane Christiansen of Dolly Varden.
Every purchase made will directly contribute to supporting the Old Town School Resource Center library. Over the years, the Resource Center has had the good fortune to receive a steady stream of donations of recordings and books. Many of these donated items are duplicates or are better accessed through other outlets. Thanks to our partnership with Music Direct, the donations that are not needed for the library catalog are sold at this yearly record sale, the proceeds of which are used to further develop the library collection. Areas currently being developed include: sheet music books, books about music and music history, LPs that showcase roots and vernacular traditions, and new song book collections.
