Edge of Eternity
by Jess Hesselgrave 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

It's a Wild World. Our Edge of Eternity (Ken Follett) audio book was returned last week for a very odd reason: disc #27 was NOT Edge of Eternity, but was actually disc #2 of Cat Stevens Gold. I contacted Books of Tape and Random House said that sometimes that happens because the audio book discs are recorded in the same place as music discs. Random House sent me a free replacement disc, but the replacement is also Cat Stevens. I have contacted them again to try to sort this out. I just wanted to share to let you guys know that if anyone ordered this audio book to double check disc #27, as it seems to be a legitimate mix-up from the recording studio. Thanks! -- Jessica Hesselgrave Adult Services Librarian Salem-South Lyon District Library 9800 Pontiac Trail, South Lyon, MI 48178 Ph. 248-437-6431 x202 Fax 248-437-6593 jhesselgrave(a)ssldl.info <jhesselgrave(a)ssldl.info>

MAP Year 2 Update: 80+% of MAP Year 1, Only Five Months In
by Jim Flury 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

All, The end of this week, October 24, will mark the five month anniversary of Statewide MAP Year 2. I am glad to be able to share the news with you today that, a few days shy of five months in to Statewide MAP Year 2, you have circulated a bit more than 80% of the total number of MAP passes that were processed in the entire 12 month period of Statewide MAP Year 1. Nice work, everybody! My goal is to be able to report to you on the last workday prior to the Thanksgiving holiday, Wednesday, November 26, a couple of days past the halfway point of Statewide MAP Year 2, that you have circulated 100% of the number of passes in six months of this year's version of the program, that were checked out in the full 12 months of Statewide MAP Year 1. It won't be easy to reach our goal, as several of our popular partner venues, such as the lighthouses, have closed for the season. But I think we can get it done if we work together. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Sincerely, Jim Flury Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us

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 Our library has recently withdrawn a large amount of books on cd and we are getting ready to go completely digital (no end date at this time).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
