When & Where: Saturday May 9th & Sunday May 10th 2026 from 10am-5pm at Music Direct's warehouse (1811 W. Bryn Mawr)
Why: Proceeds from the Record Sale support 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. Proceeds from the sale are used to further develop the library collection which includes sheet music, songbooks, books about music and music history, as well as LPs.
