Walker Library's collection of over 3,400 LPs or "vinyl" (record albums) is located in the Listening/Viewing Center (LVC), located on the 2nd floor of the library, near the MakerSpace. These LPs may be checked out of the library for 2 weeks (and renewed once for an additional 2 weeks). You can also listen to them in the LVC at one of our two listening stations.
You may browse through the LPs on the shelves, but they are also included in the library's online catalog. To search for LPs, use this link or select the "Books & Media" tab on the library's home page:
For example, searching for "oratorio" and then limiting the results to "LP Collection" brings up a list of 61 LPs.
