[0] Library2Go [1] Library Development Services [3] In February, 2006, a consortium of the eight largest public libraries and public library federations, led by the State Library, launched Library2Go, a shared collection of downloadable audiobooks. The State Library showed the public libraries how to work with the vendor to share the start-up costs and ongoing maintenance costs and to purchase a shared collection. In 2007, participation in Library2Go will be extended to all Oregon libraries. [4] By bringing together public librarians from the eight largest libraries in the state and facilitating a process that led to their decision to use their own money to bring up a statewide shared downloadable audiobook service, the State Library avoided having to use about $85,000 of our funds to start this project.
