Get Ready for the Grammys with your library card

Posted on March 4, 2021 by Audrey Glasebrook in Book Recommendations, Library Blog

The 63rd annual Grammy Awards are coming up on Sunday, March 14th. The Grammys recognize achievement in the music industry, and the winners are decided by other music artists who are members of the Recording Academy.

Some fun facts about the Grammy Awards:

The Grammy was originally called the Gramophone Award, and the trophy that is given out depicts a gilded gramophone. These trophies are made in Colorado!

The first Gramophone Awards were given out in 1959 at two simultaneous ceremonies – one in Los Angeles and one in New York. Now, only one ceremony is held each year in Los Angeles. Some of those first winners include Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, and Henry Mancini.

Ready to cast your vote for the 2021 Grammy winners? Your library card gives you free access to listen to many of the nominated artists, as well as some other fun ways to enjoy music.
