iPod Shuffles at library

By at 11:25 am Thursday, Mar 3

Long Island's South Huntington Public LIbrary is now lending iPod shuffles loaded with audio books. From Wired News:
(Library assistant director Joe) Latini said that most titles on CDs cost the library around $75, whereas in MP3 format, they range from $15 to $25.

"In the end, obviously, we're literally saving money," he said. "The units are paying for themselves."

The library even throws in a cassette adapter and an FM transmitter for use in a car. Patrons do, however, have to provide their own headphones for sanitary reasons.
