WCAMS Library History Page
Our music library was started in 1982, when Mrs. Doris Lazenby donated a box of music and Christa Beckmann volunteered to be our first librarian. Since then, other gifts of music have been received from Jenny Ono, John Stobbs, Mrs. Ilana Bares, Maria Brown, and Jerry Domer.
Each year, funds from our operating expenses and special donations have enabled further purchases of music on the advice of our instructors at the summer music camp. There is also a special collection of music donated by the composers themselves, including works by Michael Conway Baker, Eckart Seeber, Joseph Terichow, and James Whittaker.
Also, arrangements by Jack Downs, Art Williams, Joseph Terichow, and Pat Daniels are included.
In all, there are over 1,300 entries to date!
The society would like to thank all those who have donated their time, effort, or money to help create this wonderful library. The North Vancouver Community Arts Council has been a strong supporter of this project in the past. Also, we would like to thank our former librarians:
| 1981-1985 | Christa Beckmann |
| 1985-1988 | Liz Reiniger |
| 1988-1989 | Claudia Morawetz |
| 1989-?? | Maria Brown |
