There Used to be Magic, Once

Old vinyl returned to WCL after 30 years
- Wellington City Libraries
- We look back at our past and current vinyl collections, as some records from our original collection have recently been returned to us after 30 years. Wellington City Libraries has always had a music collection for our patrons to borrow. The original format for this service was, of course, vinyl. The Wellington City Library vinyl collection dates back to when the 1939 Library (later to become the City Art Gallery in 1992) opened. At that time they wanted to make a statement with ‘new’ and ‘modern’ collections, the establishment of a “gramophone record” collection and a listening room was part of that.
