Stewart Parsons is the music librarian at the Lancaster library in the UK. After 20 years of doing the usual library gig he wanted “to push boundaries” a bit and created “Get it Loud in Libraries.”
Founded in 2005 ‘Get It Loud In Libraries’ is “a unique award winning project” – it received the 2007 Love Libraries Award- and is “designed to give people, especially young people who love music, a damn good time in a library”
Last week actress Juliette Lewis played with her new band “The New Romantiques“
Here is a video of the ‘Get It Loud In Libraries’ project fittingly produced by Shush Productions:
