<p>I am phasing them out as they appear on the weeding list and am no longer purchasing new audiobooks. </p>

<p>Two years ago, I made a display comparing the different types of audiobooks, and polled patrons about their preferred audiobook format. Libby/Hoopla were strongly preferred over physical audiobooks. I don't think I saved the survey results, unfortunately.</p>
