At this time of year you see lists made by music critics or deejays telling what they think are the "Best CDs of the Year." Here at the Library we read a lot of those lists when we buy CDs for the library. But did you know we also want your suggestions for music CDs? Maybe you heard a song on the radio and you want to hear the whole album. Or maybe you're interested in something new, but you don't want to buy it until you've heard it. The library can purchase almost any music CD that you ask for, put it in the library's collection, and then call you when it is ready to borrow. We usually can have a CD ready for you to borrow seven to ten days after you first ask for it. You can make suggestions about what CDs we should buy through email (ask@stratfordlibrary.org) or by filling out a card at the Reference Desk. Just be sure to tell us your name and phone number so we can let you know when it has arrived. Here are some CDs that were recently purchased because a library user asked us to add them to the library: Teddy Pendergrass: Life is a Song Worth Singing Lucinda Williams : Little Honey
Keith Jarrett: Live in Tokyo Bruni, Carla: Comme Si de Rien N'etait
Philadephia Symphony: Complete Symphonies of Brahms
