Why are there waiting
lists if it's electronic? Publishers
still sell copies of books one by one and these purchased titles must be
shared with the entire Green Mountain Library Consortium through ListenUp!
Vermont. So, popular titles will still
have waiting lists at libraries. Tip: When using ListenUp! (OverDrive),
always sign in before searching. This will give you access to books Grafton
Public Library buys exclusively for its own patrons. Note—exclusive
titles are coming to Grafton, but are not yet available. At the current time
we share all titles with the Green Mountain Library Consortium. Want to
help? We are fundraising to purchase
this advantage program and you can make a contribution. Do these titles
include everything on your shelves? No,
the collection of e-books and audio-books may overlap the print books
available at Grafton Public Library, but we have access to many more books in
print on our shelves than we do electronically, at this time. Do the titles appear
in your online catalog? Not
at this time. To find our e-books and e-audio, search the ListenUp! Vermont
site. May a patron suggest
that you buy a new title as an e-book or e-audio? You can make purchasing suggestions for new
downloadable titles just as you would for traditional paper titles. Contact
the library to do so. Why do I see "Buy
It Now" buttons? It's
part of the deal between publishers and libraries: publishers seek the
opportunity to sell extra copies of popular items to library patrons who want
to skip over the waiting list. If you must read the next installment
of your favorite series right now and decide you want to buy a personal
e-copy, this link is a convenient way to do that. |
