The library’s Cable Nelson Baby Grand Piano was a gift of Mr. & Mrs. Dale Jorgenson in 2008. It is used for concerts, recitals, and programs.
Regulations
- The piano must be reserved, in advance, through the Event Coordinator or his or her designee.
- The piano must remain covered at all times when not in use.
- The piano may only be moved by library personnel. It may not be moved with the lid up.
- Nothing may be placed on the piano, even when it is covered. (That includes handouts, etc., for meetings.)
- The piano may not be moved out of the Collins Community Room.
- No food or beverages are allowed on or near the piano.
- Any group or individual damaging the piano in any way is liable for the cost of repairs.
- The piano is tuned annually. If a musician, piano teacher, etc., wants to have the piano tuned for a program, the library will employ its regular tuner/technician and the requestor will compensate the library for the tuning.
- Musicians shall be allowed to practice on the piano before a concert or recital to get a feel for the piano’s action and tone. Otherwise, the piano is not available for practicing or for piano lessons.
- Persons not following these regulations may be denied access to the piano by the library director. That denial may be appealed to the library board at a regular meeting with seven days written notice to the library director.
Piano Maintenance
Tunings and piano maintenance and repair shall be paid for from the Equipment Supplies and Service budget, or by donors. Donations for piano maintenance are welcome.
