Meet Chris, who used the Library’s Recording Lab to live her dream! Her music album, “Real Life,” was entirely recorded at HPL, so we had to ask her to share her story - it’s truly inspiring. You can make an appointment to use the Recording Lab for your own project at helenplum.org. And check out Chrsm's new album at chrsm.band. Congrats, Chris!
