I love the Multnomah County Library

beautifulduckweedThe Multnomah County Library is home to many things I honestly would never have expected to find at a library. Whenever friends of mine tell me about new music I need to check out, I hit the on-line catalog first to see if they have it. And about 70% of the time, they do. Their collections for Cat Power, The Mountain Goats, Mogwai and John Vanderslice are weirdly comprehensive, for example. They even have a disc from Islands, which is a brand-new Canadian indie band that formed in 2005.
And then when I try to find something by Apostle of Hustle...nothing. But on the other hand, I just placed a shitload of Deerhoof, The Black Keys, TV on the Radio and Andrew Bird on hold.
Ahhh, Portland library, I love you so. Bless the librarian(s) with the strong indie bent who's in charge of the music collection.
