Looking for Kenneth Branagh or Laurence Olivier? What about Placido Domingo or Bruce
Springsteen? Look no further than the
Fine Arts and Literature collections in the historic front part of the
Library. Opera CDs and performance DVDs,
Shakespeare audiobooks and performance DVDs, and non-fiction and documentary
DVDs on art and artists, music, movie-making and other fine and performing arts
topics are now located in the Goldstone Special Collections Room and the
Ruggles Fine Arts Reading Room right inside the Main Street entrance.
This change puts all of our printed and media materials related to
these topics in one convenient location. Pick out a coffee table volume on the
Impressionists, then select an episode of a made-for-TV art appreciation series
or a documentary film on the life of Degas or Monet. Also here are live concert recordings by pop
icons like Springsteen and Paul Simon and recorded live performances of
musicals like CATS.
This is a great place to brush up your Shakespeare (or Verdi or
Tchaikovsky) before Live in HD film presentations at the Ridgefield Playhouse
of productions by the National Theatre, Met Opera and Bolshoi Ballet. Then show your Ridgefield Library card at the
box office and get the special member discount price.
