Gear up for the neighborhood's annual PorchRokr festival by creating your very own harmonica with this take-home kit. While supplies last.
Kits include popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and paper spacers along with instructions for assembling them into a working musical instrument.
We have numerous books about making more sophisticated musical instruments, including:
Making Poor Man's Guitars: Cigar Box Guitars, the Frying Pan Banjo, and other DIY Instruments, by Shane Speal.
Make Your Own Electric Guitar, by Melvyn Hiscock.
Making Gourd Musical Instruments, by Ginger Summit and Jim Widess.
Highland Square is one of Akron’s most iconic communities, hosting numerous street fairs and festivals, eclectic shopping and dining, and a vibrant night life. The extremely diverse neighborhood is home to seniors, young families, artists, educators, and students of all demographics. The Highland Square Branch Library is a reflection of this diverse neighborhood, with a standout LGBTQ collection and a rich programming schedule.
Reference assistance, computers and computer classes, WiFi, copiers, scanning, and faxing round out the services provided within the library. The full scope of community participation, however, is seen in local senior care facilities, local schools and preschools, and neighborhood festivals where Highland Square Branch Library staff plays an active role in creating experiences for participants of all ages. Visit us soon on the Square.
