Lissa Tyler Renaud maintains extensive professional
libraries of books and journals, records and CDs, and audio and video tapes.
These include materials ranging from first editions and other rare materials
to the most up-to-date.
The libraries are an important part of the InterArts Training
"experience." Students are asked to read, watch and listen in
conjunction with the classes at all times. Ms. Renaud's students participate
freely in the libraries; they borrow from them, request and recommend
materials to be added, and occasionally donate things. Some have helped
catalogue. Students also set up "lending trees" among themselves,
sharing from their own—often growing—libraries.
New additions:
Proudly announcing the
purchase of an important part of Sir John Gielgud’s historic private library:
an extraordinary collection of sixty-one of his theatre books--mostly scarce,
all signed by himself and/or with his bookplate, many signed by their
authors. From London bookseller Peter Ellis (http://www.peter-ellis.co.uk/), who purchased them from the sale of Gielgud's
estate at Sotheby's in May 2001. A significant part of Sir Gielgud’s library
is now with the British Library.
