Starting Tuesday, dozens of musical instruments, including
guitars, ukuleles, banjos, keyboards, xylophones and drums, will be
available free to anyone with a library card as the Vancouver Public
Library launches an innovative new lending program. The launch,
fittingly, will be a musical event jam packed with talent, including
Jacob Hoggard of Hedley, Mother Mother, Ryan & Molly Guldemond, as
well as students from the Sarah McLachlan School of Music.
The program was the brainchild of Vancouver’s own Shaw Saltzberg of
NextStage Entertainment, who, after a career repping global stars such
as Diana Krall, Michael Bublé, Elvis Costello and McLachlan, started
thinking about how he could bring his love of music to the
wider community.
“I wanted to focus on things that would have a real social impact,” he said.
