Due to a scheduling conflict, the NLS Music Notes has been Rescheduled for November 19 at 6 p.m. via Zoom. The topic will be Popular Music Lead Sheets (PMLS)—a publication produced by the NLS Music Section. Music Reader Services Librarian Mary Dell Jenkins and Braille Music Librarian Timothy Jones will talk about the history of PMLS and about the lead sheet format, what it is, and how to read it. During the presentation, questions can be submitted through the online chat. A question-and-answer will follow. You can learn more about Music Notes here.
