Rock and Roll Radio Exhibit Opens Today!

ROCK and ROLL RADIO

Before the iPod, before the Walkman, there was the transistor radio. Heralded as a technological triumph in the 1950s, the transistor radio ushered in the era of Rock and Roll while changing the way we listened to the radio. Come see a collection of over 20 examples of 1950s and 60s transistor radios, including the one that started it all. The radios are on loan from the collection of David and Ellen Valentine.

The display is on the upper level of Grasselli Library at the top of the main staircase.

While there, check out the new Grasselli Library/Heights Libraries Leisure Reading Collection just down the hall and find a good mystery to curl up with on a chilly fall evening.
