Presser Music Library Highlights

Stop down to Presser Music Library to view a student-curated book display on Lunar New Year in Asia!

You can also join in making your own paper lantern! We have set up a craft table for your making of a New Year’s Paper Lantern. We encourage you to make these paper lanterns and place them along the window sill. We also have some coloring pages (Lunar New Year-themed) that you can color and hang anywhere in Presser.

For more resources, on our webpage (https://library.wcupa.edu/music) we’ve created a list of some book and score resources, under the tab “Celebrate Lunar New Year” on the left.
