Title: Selection and Purchase of E-Media Titles
Narrative: Selection was based on requests from the participating 86 municipal, two library systems and two tribal libraries of the Oklahoma Virtual Library Consortium (OKVL). The Stillwater Public Library coordinated these efforts by placing the Overdrive orders, tracking purchasing totals and maintaining statistics for the grant. (See attachment) Both eBooks and audio books were acquired with titles in juvenile fiction and nonfiction, as well as adult fiction and nonfiction. In total, 662 eBooks and 108 audio books were purchased with LSTA funds.
Individual libraries paid an annual fee to Overdrive based on their legal service area population. This fee totaled $207,900., with $138,600. of that amount was available as annual content credit, which meant that each library had an allocated amount from their annual fee to purchase titles.
