Boing Boing: iPod Shuffles at library

Any libraries in Oklahoma doing this?
Boing Boing: iPod Shuffles at library: "Long Island's South Huntington Public LIbrary is now lending iPod shuffles loaded with audio books. From Wired News:

(Library assistant director Joe) Latini said that most titles on CDs cost the library around $75, whereas in MP3 format, they range from $15 to $25.

'In the end, obviously, we're literally saving money,' he said. 'The units are paying for themselves.'

The library even throws in a cassette adapter and an FM transmitter for use in a car. Patrons do, however, have to provide their own headphones for sanitary reasons."
