Just found another library using podcasting as a means to distribute their programming to a wider audience. This time it comes from the Memorial Hall Library in Andover, MA. They podcasted their Teen Poetry Contest, including individual readings of the top poems and a single recording of the whole reception. Here’s the poem that tied for second place. Nice! And of course, here’s their podcast feed.

Incidentally, I came across a presentation (available online through January 2006) given by Memorial Hall Library’s Dean Baumeister, in which he talks about this podcast pilot project and assesses the results. It’s nice to see someone provide some concrete numbers and be realistic about their meaning.
