Music CD collection
From:

Good morning, all!

Our teen patrons have been asking for a music collection.  We don't have 
the funding to get a downloadable service, but we do have access to a 
large number of donated music CDs (several hundred, plus patrons who are 
willing to donate more).  So despite the current trend to digital, we're 
probably going to go ahead and accept the donated CDs.  This will be a 
new format for us.  If anyone has a music CD collection, I'd appreciate 
any tips on handling, shelving, and special policies or licensing/legal 
concerns.

Thanks!

Heather Dungey
