For a quarter of a century Joe’s M.I.L.L. has provided musical
instruments from its library to support and encourage Kingston
area musicians.
Officially we are, and will continue to be The Joe Chithalen
Memorial Musical Instrument Library. We are the founders of the
MILL concept. But we are more than just a music instrument
lending library.
Joe’s MILL is evolving and expanding our focus to allow us to better fulfill our mission of putting musical instruments in the hands of everyone who wants and could benefit from them - to improve outcomes in education, and the health of our community through music.
We’re a financially stable and environmentally responsible
community partner – positioned and ready to grow.
We’ve added “music” in the name instead of just the “M” in
M.I.L.L. This communicates our key objective to everyone,
including those who would not know what “Joe’s M.I.L.L. stood for
without further explanation.
The graphic style is fun, simple, and inviting to all. Joe’s name is
clear and sits atop the descriptor ‘Music Mill". The graphic
includes the head of Joe's instrument, the bass.
The meaning of “Mill” is twofold:
It started as the acronym for Musical Instrument Lending Library
and still echoes our official name. But now it conveys a place of
activity and output: music works, or, a ... music mill.
Along with a new name and logo, we’re pleased to unveil this new
Website. Check out new features including an online database of
instruments and reservations, and greater connections with the
Kingston music community are part of the functions will help to
improve delivery of our services.
