At the L’Espace Musique et Cinéma our users can find a CD listening station where they can freely listen to albums from our collection.
How it works:
- In exchange for the library card, the user gets the headphones
- Picks a CD from the collection
- Sits back and gets comfortable
- Puts on the headphones and enjoys the music
It’s the perfect way for users without CD player to discover new artists, revisit favorite artists, or simply take a relaxing moment for themselves.
On a paper, we collect the data of how many minutes the CD listening station was used. In 2024, it was used for 619 minutes, which translates to 10.31 hours.
In 2025, the CD player stopped working, so we were without it for 2-3 months. At the end of the year I will check the stats to see what was the evolution of the usage.
So far, there is one adolescent who likes to listen to The Weeknd a lot, he takes all the albums and listens while studying or doing something online. It's nice to see a young person listening to CDs. :)
