In January 2014, the Beaver Island District Library announced that it was consolidating less-used media and withdrawing older cassette-tape Recorded Books. It said CDs would be retained and that MP3 use was emerging, while the outgoing cassettes were made available to patrons for donations.
The forum notices document the library’s announced technology transition, not a complete inventory or formal collection policy.
