Influential, iconic, legendary. Just some of the words that could be used describe The Wu-Tang Clan. The St. George Library Center on Staten Island pays homage to the hip-hop greats with a compilation of books, music, and movies by and about the group and its members.
Originally started at the Dongan Hills Library by Imer Ardolic and Steve Herman, the #Wuseum was born through discussion of the group by library staff and fans on Twitter (See the original blog post here). The #Wuseum continues to grow and evolve. Now, here at the St. George Library Center, the saga continues.
Take a look at the list below, containing just a few of the items in our display. Come by the branch for a closer look or request an item using the links provided in this blog post. Don't wait too long, because the books are flying off the shelf. If you think we've missed something or have a suggestion, don't hesitate to post a comment at the bottom of the page.
