About the Music Library

The music library at West Virginia Wesleyan College supports the curricular, research, and performance needs of the department of music and the entire campus community by providing access to both physical and digital resources in the discipline of music.

The music library is an extension service of the Annie Merner Pfeiffer Library and serves as the primary repository for musical performance and research materials for the department of music. The music library's holdings are supplemented by books and recordings found in the circulating and reference collection of the Annie Merner Pfeiffer Library. All music materials in both libraries may be located by searching the library's online catalog. While the music library is primarily used by students and faculty in the department of music, the collection is accessible to any member of the campus community.

Questions about the music library should be directed to Brett Miller, Music Librarian.
