Nestled in the Community Rooms of the San Marcos Public Library is a rare gem: A 1907 Model O Steinway Piano. Since the piano was donated in 1977, the Library has made this piano accessible to the public for practice and performance, and while the piano has been deeply cherished, it has fallen into disrepair and is in desperate need of restoration.

Your contributions to this campaign help us not only restore the piano but also provide the library with a viable rental for members of our community to utilize while the restoration occurs. We truly appreciate your contribution to help save and restore this piece of music history that is so unique and dear to our community.

Steinway pianos are high-end, handcrafted pianos that were originally manufactured in New York City, starting in 1853 with the founding of Steinway & Sons. This particular Steinway was manufactured in 1907 and was donated to the San Marcos Public Library in 1977 by Tom G. Oliver, Jr. in loving memory of Alice Roberts Oliver.
