Board hears plan to add Yoto audio players to branch collections with grant support
Summary
The board discussed a proposal to buy Yoto audio players as a starter collection using an LST grant (approx. $5,000) and add cards to regular collection budgets; card counts and exact rollout schedule remain to be finalized.
The director described how the library could deploy Yoto audio players across branches if an LST grant contract is finalized. "It was gonna be about 24 players," Dan said when describing the initial hardware count, and he discussed adding a starter collection of cards and then funding additional cards through regular collections budgets.
Board members asked for details about the number of cards and donation options; one member offered to loan cards for testing and suggested the community could donate older cards. Dan said the library has applied for institution membership with the vendor and will confirm what transfers or donations are possible once membership is finalized.
