Audio Collection

Evergreen boasts a large and diverse music collection on CD and vinyl.

From blues to bird songs, we have something for every mood. We encourage you to peruse our collection for fun and for academic work. In addition to music, we also have a large collection of recorded historical speeches, poetry, and literature available for checkout. Come in, bring your homework, sit down, and enjoy an audio smorgasbord.

Listening Stations

There are four listening stations available to use during all hours of library operation. Each station is equipped with an LP console, and a dual tape and cd player. Listening stations are roomy, so feel free to come in and spread out your homework while you enjoy our varied collection.

Audio Duplication

Every station is capable tape-to-tape or CD-to-tape, and one specially-equipped station allows you to record vinyl LPs to CD or tape. We also have a CD duplicator which can be used for making quick, on-the-fly copies of your CD's. While staff are happy to assist you, it is your responsibility to adhere to copyright laws when using duplication equipment.
