Behold music lovers: Rutland Records! A new addition to the store by Nickolas Grandchamp re-purposing a Rutland Herald vending machine.

Inside are cassettes, CDs, vinyl, art and zines by local artists. If you would like to feature your work inside email [email protected].

The suggested donation to help yourself to a piece of music/art inside is $3, but can be more or less depending on your means.
Featured in this image is the book "HapPy PuNks 1 2 3: A Counting Story" that is available for sale in the new children's books section.

The Bookmobile is honored to be a part of this project, as we were previously honored to host the book launch of Mr. Grandchamp's sold-out poetry book "Say It Faster."

The Bookmobile was previously a sponsor of Punk in the Park and continues to celebrate Rutland's DIY arts culture.

For more local music releases, make sure to check out Mountain Music right down the street.
What would you like to see inside the Rutland Records machine?
