Meet a Music Librarian

Posted by Stacy Kitsis | March 18, 2026

Did you know that many universities have entire libraries dedicated just to music? And that “music librarian” is an actual career?

Come meet Sandi-Jo Malmon, Librarian for Collection Development at Harvard University's Loeb Music Library, and get a behind-the-scenes look at what she does every day. From rare scores to research support, you’ll discover how music and information come together in surprising ways.

Bring your questions and your appetite! We’ll have time for Q&A and snacks.

Whether you’re into music, research, or exploring unique career paths, you’ll leave with something new.
