Did you know.....

....that the Rafael Mendez Library has hosted hundreds of visitors since its opening in 1993? Most have travelled from within the U.S., but admirers have also come from as far away as Canada, Mexico, France, Norway, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Australia to visit the exhibit.

Visitors range from high school students to seasoned professional musicians and from band directors to medical doctors.
