“90 aastat kogutud muusikat. Eesti Muusika- ja Teatriakadeemia raamatukogu lugu” gives an insight into 90 years of colourful history of the EAMT Library. Readers will have an overview of the work scale behind making sheet music and books available for electronic loan.
Do current students know what is a library wish slip or a registration book for music listening, studio recorder or sound cabinet? Why was the sheet printing duplicating machine in a locked room during the Soviet era? Answers to these questions, as well as many other interesting things, can be found between these covers.
