[Libs-Or] Ohio Library to Start Lending Roku Boxes

[Liz Paulus]

I don't know who else in Oregon is loaning them, but I believe the honor of 1st in the state might go to Garden Home Community Library - http://gardenhomelibrary.org/ -- See how they look in the WCCLS catalog at:

Way Cool!

Greetings!

This passed by my “electronic desk” today and I thought I’d share:

Sandusky Library is launching a service unique to Ohio libraries: Library patrons can check out Roku Streaming Players.

The new service has been in the works for a while, but is launching this week to help the library celebrate National Library Week, said Sam Chada, director of communications and technology for the Sandusky Library.

Any libraries in Oregon thinking about lending streaming media boxes / gadgets? How about a Roku channel for your library?

Cheers,
Darci
