Natalia Perkins '19 with ukulele

Published March 7, 2019

Josten Performing Arts Library circulates a dozen ukuleles, ten sopranos and two tenor ukuleles (one with a pickup).

The ukuleles circulate in a soft case, for four weeks, renewable. There are also ukulele tuners that are available for loan separately.

To borrow, stop by the Josten Library, or call ahead to make sure there is a ukulele available.

Pictured with one of the available soprano ukuleles is Natalia Perkins '19, who is the president of the Smith Ukuleles. She is an economics major, with an English minor. She plays saxophone with the Smith Wind Ensemble, and will be presenting her paper on wildfires in California at the Eastern Economic Association Conference in NYC in March, 2019. She enjoys writing poetry and rock climbing.

This program was inspired by the successful musical instrument circulation service spearheaded by our neighbors at the Forbes Library (Northampton's public library).
