Tompkins County Public Library's Youth Services Department announced the addition of a music listening station to its offerings for children and families.

This easy-to-use listening station is located near the children's music collection and is pre-loaded with songs from more than 135 circulating albums.  Songs are cataloged by artist, album and genre, including librarian-created genres like 'Light and Happy Tunes.'

"There is such a wide variety of incredible music being created for kids and families," said Youth Services Librarian Cassie Shortle, adding that the listening station is designed to introduce families to artists and genres before borrowing a CD from the collection.  "As a new parent, finding the right CD to take home can be a bit overwhelming, so we wanted to create something to help parents find songs their families will enjoy while introducing them to the rich world of children's music."

Additional songs will be added to the station regularly.
