Our nine month long initiative to welcome the new UI School of Music, Music is the Word (MITW), has officially begun with a bang! We had a wonderful kickoff musical revue event at the Englert last Sunday and are looking f
orward to some wonderful events through May of next year.
Currently we are displaying some unique and fun marching band items in the large display case outside of the Children's Department. Herky is also making an appearance in ICPL on a very large, vintage bass drum on one of the large print shelves.
Many thanks go to West Music, the University's School of Music and Regina High School for their generous donations for the duration of this display.Be sure to stop by and check out these wonderful items through Homecoming weekend.
Keep your eyes peeled for more fun displays to come throughout the rest of MITW!

Heartbeat follows a whale calf, orphaned by the early commercial whaling industry, through two hundred years of human development. Evan Turk highlights the ways in which we have used these creatures to advance ourselves, and the shifting attitudes toward whales of more recent history with thoughtfulness. A unique and timely look at human history through the lens of the animals we impact, make sure to read Turk's author's note at the end for more information. -Casey
