June Updates

June News from CDO

The CDO staff went to Toxic Ranch records and the 17th Street Market this week to meet the owners & managers there and talk about future buying at these stores. Both look like they will be great sources for local music.

17th Street has a lot of the more traditional music, folk, Latin, Lisa Otey & that kind of stuff.

Toxic Ranch is a little more alternative ? more ... young?? If you are near Fourth Avenue or downtown you'll have to visit there yourselves and give me your impressions.

So if Baker & Taylor doesn't carry music by local groups or bands or singers, the CDO dept. can try to get it through one of these two stores. I have already asked Toxic Ranch to try and get copies of CDs from the local teen bands who are going to play in the 'Rock a Book' concert.

July is the new budget year! Hooray! We can start ordering again!

Towards the end of May I ordered lots of DVDs. If you haven't seen these yet, they will be arriving soon at your branch -

• Go Diego Go: Great Gorilla
• The Jetsons
• Ballet Shoes
• Saturday Morning Carttons

and for teens:

• The O.C.
• Seventh Heaven
• My So Called Life
• 7th Heaven
• Smallville

Enjoy the summer,

Ann
