Vinyl lovers rejoice!

The Woodruff Library at Emory University is giving away thousands of records and compact discs until Thursday, Sep. 15. Covering classical music as well as some rock and jazz, more than 7,500 LPs and at least 1,000 CDs are there for the taking. Music scores and books are also in the offing, and more titles are being added during the course of the week.

Music librarian Peter Shirts recommends attendees bring their own bags to haul away their finds. The event is on the Woodruff building’s fourth floor during regular hours. The bulk of the material was donated by the estate of the late William Hall, a noted music scholar and scientist who graduated from Emory in 1977. Details: news.emory.edu
