Haringey Libraries has announced that residents, especially young people, will be able to use premium music production tools at Coombes Croft Library, Marcus Garvey Library, and St Ann’s Library.
The project, known as ‘Logic in Libraries,’ gives people access to industry-standard equipment and software on high-specification iMacs.
Councillors Zena Brabazon and Emily Arkell, along with the head of Haringey Music Service, Daniel Earley, and Kenneth Olumuyiwa Tharp CBE, the director of culture and communities, attended the launch event at Marcus Garvey Library.
They were treated to sample showcases of some American rap and Caribbean calypso music, created by pupils from Gladesmore Community School.
Following the successful rollout of digital hybrid pianos in libraries last year, this initiative is another collaboration between Haringey Libraries and the Haringey Music Service to provide useful facilities and services for young people.
Haringey Music Service has expressed gratitude to Haringey Education Partnership and the local charity, Horizons, for their funding support.
People wanting to book a music production session can do so through the libraries pages.
To get logged on, residents are advised to bring their library cards to the information desk, where they can also borrow headphones. Any work should also be backed up on a USB stick before logging off.
