The Closing Music Playlist

Library regulars will be aware of one Alexandria Campus tradition:  the nightly playing of the closing song.  About 5 minutes before the Library closes, users are alerted to the impending cessation of service with a serenade of appropriately themed music.

The librarian on duty is responsible for selecting the song of the night.  Some librarians select from a fairly fixed play list, some swap it up every shift.

Students often ask what songs we play and who the artist is.  Here is a selection of from this semester's playlist:

Girlfriend in a Coma.  The Smiths

Friday I'm in Love.  The Cure

Come with me now.  Kongos

Tubthumping.  Chumbawumba
