With a tiny handful of exceptions, everyone got over it quickly, and learned how to use CDs. (Maybe some of your patrons will skip directly to downloadables!) We helped it along by buying a few inexpensive CD players and loaning them to patrons who didn't have them.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">Jane</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><b style="font-family:arial,verdana;font-size:13px">Jane Salisbury</b><br></div><div><font face="georgia, serif"><span style="font-family:arial,verdana;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse">Supervisor, Library Outreach Services<br></span></font><font face="georgia, serif"><span style="font-family:arial,verdana;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse">Multnomah County Library<br>205 NE Russell</span></font></div><div><font face="georgia, serif"><span style="font-family:arial,verdana;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse">Portland, OR 97212</span></font></div><div><font face="arial, verdana"><br></font></div><div><font face="georgia, serif"><span style="font-family:arial,verdana;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse">Phone: 503.988.4081 Website: <a href="http://www.multcolib.org" target="_blank">www.multcolib.org</a><br><br><u><a href="mailto:xxxxxxx@multcolib.org" target="_blank">janesa<u>@</u><u>multcolib</u><u>.</u><u>org</u></a></u><br><a href="http://www.multcolib.org/" target="_blank">www.multcolib.org</a></span></font></div><div></div><div></div></div></div></div>
