Distressed

Occasionally, students find music that has been heavily marked by a previous borrower.  This can cause some distress.  Not to mention the books themselves becoming distressed, we might add!

A scribble too far!

This week, we've been alerted to an ink-marked piano score, a spine-broken musical theatre score literally scribbled over in pencil, a trumpet score with quite intriguing annotations in the piano part ... and then, to cap it all, a flattened Sanpellegrino bottle foil inside some trombone music.  We know trombones require lubricant, but clearly the trombonist did, too.  At least it was non-alcoholic.

Broken, the score died inwardly

 The library mascot stepped in to help.  With Valentine's Day coming up, "Love our scores!" is just a gentle reminder that everyone gets longer benefit from our music if it's kept clean and unmarked.  We totally understand the odd pencil-marking, but equally, we appreciate if it's rubbed out before the score is returned to the library!  (And please, no ink markings at all.)
