Motown Celebrates

2009 is Motown's 50th birthday, and the party's on at the Troy Public Library.

Check out the display near the New Books in the Adult Services area for titles on the made-in-Detroit record company and its many artists past and present.  Included, too, are books on other significant African-American music genres, notably jazz and blues.  Don't forget to stop by our CD collection to sample that marvelous Motown sound.

For a more hands-on experience, consider a visit to the Motown Historical Museum and the adjacent Hitsville U.S.A., Motown's original recording studio.  Call 313.875.2264 for visitor information.
