Musical Instrument Lending Library

Carver Memorial Library is happy to offer a Musical Instrument Lending Library for anyone wanting to learn or try out a new instrument. Each instrument comes with a case and a tuner. To get started, search the catalog or contact the library for availability. The Musical Instrument Lending Library is presented in partnership with The Maker's Guild of Maine, and many of the instruments were donated by the Old Time Music Players of Maine.
