The Frances Dunnagan Brewer Music Library of Durham Music Teachers Association was first established as a crate of music that the current President stored. In l998, DMTA found a permanent home for the Library at
48l5 Hillsborough Road. Many members donated time, materials and equipment to organize the growing collection. In 2000, the estate of founding member Loren Withers donated over 55 boxes of music and related items; as well as a Harpsichord. That same year, DMTA received a generous financial gift from Mrs. Brewer that endowed the Library. The organization named the Library in her honor.

Currently the Brewer Library houses approximately l000 volumes of music, including classical piano repertoire, jazz, pedagogical resources, and music for voice and other instruments. It is a self-managed library, where members may check out an unlimited amount of material. Members simply fill out cards and return the material promptly after use. There is no time limit for the use of materials, but if another teacher is in need of the item it is expected that the teacher who has checked it out will return it as soon as possible.

Members may come to the Library to browse the collection, or search the contents online. The items may be searched by composer, title, publisher and keyword. It is possible either at the Library, or online, to determine if the materials have been checked out and by whom.
