Instrument Lending
The library owns ukuleles and dulcimers which may be borrowed by anyone with a valid NWRLS library card, from any branch. The loan period is three weeks. Each instrument also comes with a tuner. You can search the library catalog for “ukulele” or “dulcimer” to see if we have instruments in stock or to place a request. The dulcimers were funded by the Panhandle Library Access Network and the ukuleles were funded through generous donations from the Ukulele Orchestra of St. Andrews and the Friends of the Bay County Public Libraries
11th Street Mountain Dulcimer Practice
The 11th Street Mountain Dulcimers practice is usually on the third Friday of the month at 2 p.m. at the Bay County Public Library. Spare instruments are available. The class meets in the Youth Services Program Room. Email rfillingame@nwrls.com for the PDF of songs.
The Ukulele Orchestra of St. Andrews made a $10,000 donation in December 2018 to enhance music programming. Thank you UOSA for supporting music appreciation and education in our communities!
