We put music in your hands

Welcome to the Joe Chithalen Memorial Musical Lending Library where we believe music does make a difference!

A library with a difference

Offering a growing library of quality musical instruments available to anyone who needs or desires them.

Tuned in to the music community

We are focused on creating vibrant communities with access to music and musical instruments for everyone.

“Wouldn’t it be great if everybody had the opportunity to play an instrument?"

Joe’s Music Mill is here to help everyone unlock the potential and benefits that music can bring to their lives and to their communities by putting the ability to play music directly into their hands.
