[Libs-Or] Public Libraries and CD collections

[Michael Grutchfield]

Hello fellow librarians,

We've been wondering about public libraries and CD collections at my library. Are CDs on the way out, or do they still circulate in respectable numbers? As our younger and tech-ier patrons shift to downloadable music and services like Pandora, are libraries changing collection policies/procedures to reflect this? How are you envisioning the future of CDs at your library - or are you?

I would appreciate any examples or feedback from others involved in these decisions.

Thank you,
