[Publib] audiobooks on cassette

[Shaw, Matthew M]

Do you still collect new audiobooks in this format?  Yes. Most new
additions are donations, however.
 
Have you kept your existing cassette audiobook collection or have you
chosen to withdraw this format entirely (and if so, when did you disband
it)?  No, we'll keep them. 
 
If you continue to have such a collection, what's your rationale for
keeping it?  A lot of folks still only have a cassette player,
particularly our older customers. Also, we have a lot of money tied up
in that collection, since the items were so expensive in the first
place.
 
When do you anticipate not carrying cassette audiobook collection any
longer? We will let the collection dwindle by attrition. Over time,
fewer people will have cassette players. Libraries went through the same
thing with vinyl records. We are also letting attrition take care of our
video collection.
