Our group, Mario, Diana, Austin, and me, entered the Library at 11: 20, and directly go to the second floor and check in the computer station for the performing Arts library and cruise their collections what they have.. As for me, I look at three corners such as Drama/Film/ Dance Collections Circulation, Record sound and Moving Image Collection Circulation; and References and Music Collections Circulation. However, this public library gave some knowledge for drama, film, and music performances.
First of all, Drama/Film/ Dance Collections Circulation has round about bookshelves of line. I read the contend and noted five books: one is that African American Performance Theater History was written by Harry J. Elam Jr. and David Krusie. Some interesting facts are race device, showed protest and politics of presentation, cultural memory and performance, intersection of race and gender of African American per formality, and performance of race; two is that Men’s fashion was written by John Peacock about Day wear, Riding wear, Evening and Court wear, Negligee and Under wear, and Accessories and Hair Styles that is the period of ages such as (1789-1802), (1803-1815), (1816-1829), (1830-1842), (1843-1855), (1856-1868), (1869- 1881), (1882-1894), (1895-1907), (1908-1920), (1921-1933), (1934-1946), (19471959), (1960- 1972), ( 1973-1984), and (1985-1995); three is that Behind The Oscar The Secret History of Academy Awards was written by Anthony Holden.

Second of all, Record sound and Moving Image Collection Circulation has many CD,DVD, VHS, books, and sound systems. I read two stereo background books: one is that Making records: The scenes Behind the Music was written Phil Ramone. The writer noted that “ Making Records is unprecedented tutorial on the magic behind what music procedures and engineer do. In these pages , Phil offers rare peck in the way music is made…. Illuminating creative though process behind some of the most influential sessions in music history; another one is that Wings of Friendship to selected letters (1944-2003) was written by NED ROREM. He stated in his content some of interesting themes. These are the Paris diary, music from inside- out, the New York diary, music and people critical affairs, pine construction, the later diaries Paul’s Blues, an abstract and gift, the man ticket diary, setting the time setting the score knowing what to stop, dear Paul Dear NED other Entertainment Lies, A Ned Rorem’s reader.
In addition, I looked at References and Music Collections Circulation. In this section, there are many music reference magazines. I only read a book that is“ Talk Songs of Old New England was written by Eloise Hubbard Lin Scott. This book is a very old Christianity songs book.
In fact, although New York Performing Arts Library is small than other New York research library, it has a lot of data for performance arts professionals’ could see drama, film, music, its history back ground briefs. Furthermore, I think that this library is many events programs because I saw at entrance counter performing Art flyers such as Jazz Performing Art show, LPA Cinema Series show, The Gotham Jazzmen show, and so on. However, I took the nearly three hours there. We, Mario, Diana, Austin, and me left there at 1.45 pm since May 13, 2009.
