Mongolian music! Yes, I've been visiting the library's Naxos database again.  This morning, while updating the political section of the Carnegie collection, I listened to Mongolian Music from Buryatia by the Badma Khanda Ensemble. This collection of mostly traditional Mongolian music is very pleasing--several staff members commented on it as they passed by. Some of the music is gentle, quiet melody that makes a nice background to work or study.

    If you have an interest in genealogy, the library is one of your first stops.  Visit the Genealogy page on the website. There are two online databases available free through the library: Heritage Quest and Ancestry.  Ancestry is only available at the library, but Heritage Quest is accessible from any computer anywhere with your library card and pin number. (If you don't know your pin number, go to the checkout desk.)
