GREAT NEWS!!! 🎉 The Oxford Public Library was awarded an LSTA grant through IMLS to purchase more copies of the most-requested titles held on the Libby app and site through CamelliaNet!
Oxford Public Library, along with 104 other Alabama libraries, belongs to this state-wide consortium of Alabama libraries called CamelliaNet. The monies from this grant will benefit the Alabama library users whose library is a member of the CamelliaNet consortium by enhancing access to e-books and e-audiobooks. By purchasing additional copies of titles that have high queue lines, patrons of member libraries will not have to wait as long for the titles they need.
