Serenade Your Sweetie with the Library's Help

Sure, anyone can buy their loved one a heart-shaped box of chocolates or compile a playlist to set the romantic mood for Valentine's Day. But why not put your musical talents to work to make a really big impression? If you already know your beloved's musical taste, you can head straight for the scores by Josh Groban or AC/DC. But if you need some suggestions, here are some ideas from our collection of scores with love songs:

• 100 Love Songs (MP1631.L69 O6)
• Canciones de Amor: Latin Love Songs (MP1668.4 .C32 1998)
