[Mary Kruse]

What is everyone doing with weeded audiobooks that don't sell in books sales?

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

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.

Hello,
I am curious to know if other libraries are growing their audio book collections or phasing them out.
Thanks!
