<P><FONT FACE="Arial">The Oregon Digital Library Consortium (ODLC) is now accepting applications for public library membership for fiscal year 2011-12 (July 2011-June 2012). ODLC is a group of public libraries that contract for downloadable library materials for our patrons. Our Library2Go (</FONT><A HREF="http://library2go.lib.overdrive.com"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">http://library2go.lib.overdrive.com</FONT></U></A><FONT FACE="Arial">) collection, purchased through Overdrive, includes thousands of ebooks, audiobooks and videos for adults and children. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">We are organized with bylaws, a governing board, and committee chairs who’s many hands make light work for all. Annual maintenance fees for membership in ODLC are based on population served, require a $1,500 start up fee and may require SIP license fees. Groups of libraries sharing the same server can be added under one fee. </FONT></P>
