Get It Loud In Libraries is a unique award winning project - it is the current Love Libraries Award 2007 winner-designed to give people, especially young people who love music, a damn good time in a library; Lancaster Library if you are someone who cares for the small details.If during post gig smiley time, those cool informed kids come back into libraries for great tunes, scored music, novels, maps to find places, quiet down time, and ye olde world wide web time, then just great, I mean really great, but the music’s the key thing.No age restrictions,no spilt beer, no smoke in your eyes, no rip-off ticket prices: just chilled chat with friends in an intimate space, an ad hoc near perfect DJ set from award winning indie disco Offbeat, or Same Teens from Manchester, and a couple of great quality breakthrough bands and a boogie down the book shelves.

Using great fresh modern rock and pop in an innovative, natural location as the key, it offers opportunities to kids from 5 to 65 to check out bands at close quarters in a book clad feelgood venue before they hit the proverbial big time.

Launched in May 2005, Get It Loud In Libraries aims to stage around 8-12 high profile gigs per year, pulling in people who haven’t been inside the library walls for years, if at all. Since conception, it’s estimated the programme has reached over 3,500 people.It is hoped to bring in even more ace, worth-seeing bands in 2007 and 2008, illustrate the unique cool of libraries and roll the project out nationwide as was done successfully with the sell out Mr Hudson & the Library tour.The music library also launches fantastic competitions all year round to win top exclusive goodies for all library users.Check in at the music desk for all the latest news and cool competitions.
