Hello there from your favourite Music Library staff members, Laura and Donna!

The Brandon University Music Library contains one of Western Canada's most comprehensive music collections. A vast array of resources such as books, journals, scores, CDs, DVDs, and vinyl recordings are available for use by students and members of the public. The Music Library has beautiful study spaces alongside its south-facing, greenery-filled, full-length windows with the best views on campus.
