Tuesday

Today's post will be brief but still filled with fun facts!

Word for the Day: indigenous (adj) native to the land.

Reading Hint for the Day: "Dem" is a Greek root meaning "people." Derivatives of the word are: democracy, demographic, epidemic, democrat.

Answer to yesterday's trivia question: All the people on the list are left-handed.

Today's trivia question: Johann Sebastian Bach played an instrument called a "clavier?" What is this instrument?
a. a harpsichord-a precursor to the piano
b. any keyboard instrument
c. a clavichord- a precusor to the piano
d. a pipe organ

The answer to today's trivia question will be on tomorrow's blog.

If you would like to listen to Johann Sebastian Bach, you can find sound recordings of his work in the library's online catalog. We also have a listening room so that you'll be able to listen with headphones. Anyone interested may ask at the circulation desk about the listening lab and the sound recordings available at Lambuth's library.

Have a good day.
