About the Library
Established in 2001, Emma Ray Riggs McKay Music Library serves the students, faculty,
and community of the University of Utah.The Library is named for Emma Ray Riggs McKay (1877-1970), a music student and graduate of The University of Utah. The Library
is a component of the School of Music situated in Gardner Hall.
McKay provides patrons with digital and analog listening stations and over 30,000
recordings; 20 Mac computer stations outfitted with a wide variety of software, including
music notation and music editing softwares; and circulating scores, books, and music
