Loaning MP3 Players
by Sally-Adrina Taylor 20 Oct '14

20 Oct '14

Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone currently loans out MP3 players to their patrons. Our library has recently withdrawn a large amount of books on cd and we are getting ready to go completely digital (no end date at this time). Before we complete the switch I would like to help patrons transition to downloadable audiobooks. I would appreciate any information about lending programs, name(s) of equipment used, and if you have had any success. I will share my findings with the list serve at a later date. Thank you for your time. Sally-Adrina Sally-Adrina Taylor Rapid City Public Libraries Public Services - Library Associate I staylor(a)rcplib.org www.rapidcitylibrary.org
