February 3, 2011 ETLA Meeting featuring Sean McCollough on music for library programs
RSVP to Lisa Travis by January 31st please.
On Thursday, February 3, 2011, East Tennessee Library Association (ETLA) will host a talk by Sean McCollough on how he plans for library music programs. Meet and greet with drinks and light snacks will begin at 5:30pm in The University of Tennessee at Knoxville’s Center for Children’s & Young Adult Literature (CYAL), which is room 434 on the far east end of the fourth floor of UTK’s Communications & University Extension building. Sean’s talk will begin at 6pm in the Scripps lab, which seats approximately 30-40 people.
CYAL is going to set up a display of books on musical topics specifically for our event. Librarians are invited to bring brochures of favorite library entertainers and performers so that they can exchange ideas.
According to his website (http://www.seanmccollough.com/), Sean is a multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter. He is also a teacher, a band leader, a record producer and a sound engineer. His musical endeavors take him in many directions. He performs solo and currently plays with two different groups, The Lonetones and The John Myers Band. He was also in the band for the play "Between a Ballad and a Blues," a production of Carpetbag Theatre. Remaining very active as a professional musician, he presents workshops and does residencies in schools, gives lectures at museums and conferences, and teaches musicology at the The University of Tennessee.
The Communications & University Extension building can be seen on the map at http://www.utk.edu/maps/campus/ (choose 7 as the location). Parking is available Circle Park Drive in front of the building as well as in the lots behind the building. If you park on Circle Park Drive, you will enter the building on the third floor and will need only to go up one floor to the CYAL.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
