I'm a local musician. How do I get my music added to the Library?

Answer

Digital Recordings

Digital Recordings can be submitted to the Library through Crescent City Sounds during the open submission period, which runs for 6 weeks every Autumn. Please visit Crescent City Sounds' FAQ for more information.

Physical Recordings (CDs)

Donations of musical recordings on CD can be mailed to:

Donations are accepted with the understanding that any works not added to the collection become the property of the Library and may be sold at the Friends of the New Orleans Public Library book sale to benefit library programs.
