[Michlib-l] Audiobooks

[Deb Hemmye]

We have significantly downsized our BOCD collections. Pros: SPACE!!! Made room for launchpads, Vox books, etc. Cons: People actually DO still use this format. A very, very few have complained so we continue to purchase a small number of bestsellers for the handful of adults who want them. The loss of children's and YA seems not to have been noticed, although again, they do actually get checked out occasionally. 

Good luck!

Hi all! Our library has a small amount of audiobooks, but they are never circulated. With all the digital formats that we have nowadays, and cars not even containing CD players, I would really love to get rid of our collection to make space for something else. I'm feeling a little gun-shy to get rid of our collection, so would like some other libraries input! 

Thanks in advance!

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” 
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
