Association and library music
The Gelderland Library Service Music Lending & Information Centre (MUI) is an information specialist within the broad speciality of music. The service provision primarily focuses on libraries, music associations, music schools, ensembles and conductors; not just in Gelderland but across the Netherlands and further a field too.
Employees
All MUI staff have a broad affinity with music as well as library work. Moreover, as a rule, the consulents have followed secondary or university courses within this specialty. Over time a wide network of knowledge and contacts has developed, covering customs, new developments, compositions, collections and advice.
Visitor's address
The MUI is housed at the Gelderland Library Service, at No. 40 on the Zeelandsingel in Arnhem. Here visitors and clients can peruse the collection, borrow materials, listen to sound recordings, and hold (small-scale) meetings. Appointments can be made with any of the domain specialists for bespoke advice. Our business hours are Monday to Thursday between 09:00 - 16:00 hrs, and Friday between 09:00 - 14:00 hrs.
