Liverpool Public Library radio station first in nation!

Even though Liverpool Public Library is not part of our library system, many of our patrons, along with myself, have Onondaga County library cards. They use both Baldwinsville and Liverpool Public Libraries frequently so I wanted to let you know about a new service available to everyone.

Liverpool Public Library recently announced their web-based radio station. They are reported to be the first library in the nation to have this service. The radio station plays songs from CDs in the library's collection. So, if you are listening to a song you like, simply go to their catalog and place a hold on the CD. To quote a teen I recently told about the service, "How cool is that?"

I have not heard any discussion of the Finger Lakes Library System or our member libraries hosting a radio station, but until then, feel free to enjoy the Liverpool Public Library's new radio station. Here's the web link: Radio LPL at Live365.com
