My library has recently introduced “living books” in to our collection’ and the stories these people tell are truly amazing. If we could podcast their tales, we would be able to share these around, send them to other libraries and include our home bound clients. The same can be said about special library events, story times, authors visits and even HSC seminars and lectures. On-line books and training programs are another possibility along with specific age-groups podcast modules.
Libraries may also consider ‘value added services’ and provide selected programs on subscription for their clients.
I really liked huge variety of Orange Country Library Service podcasts and the fact that they were archived for further use.
I can see podcasting taking libraries by storm in the very near future and am quite happy to take an active part in this exciting event.

Excellent idea for living library books to be podcast. I'm sure there'd be a 'market' for them. There's also a lot of potential for the HSC lectures.
And Orange County are doing some really inspirational stuff, aren't they? They have great teen pages on their website.
