As director of collections, are you the one making those purchases?

Huh.

Okay.

How do you go about choosing what audio books you buy for your Libby platform?

They've locked it down.

You can only get that on Audible.

Audiobooks are expensive and if you have to wait a couple weeks to get to an audiobook to get it for free, I think a lot of people would do that.

So it's totally well worth it.

Signing up for your local library and then registering through Libby so you can see what audiobooks they have available.

I think I remember hearing that

the Toronto library bought like a record amount of copies of the audio books for heated rivalries.

That whole series was very, very popular in Toronto.

I mean, to be fair, it's very, very popular.

Absolutely everywhere.

How'd you get that to work?

Out of curiosity, I don't know if you have liberty of talking about this.

How much does it cost for a library to purchase a copy of an audio book to be able to check out for the patrons?

Because it's like a special sort of license, right?

Because you're checking it out for multiple patrons.

Wow.
