#e-audiobooks

Time to spice up this mess of a summer with some of the classics!

With Hoopla!  I can’t believe I never thought of this before, but you can download audio recordings of all this fabulous poetry for free free free with your library card!

Rupi Kaur, Pablo Neruda, Julia Alvarez -- Dante’s Inferno, if that’s your jam :)

Teens that love audiobooks can start enjoying the summer a little earlier than the rest of us, thanks to SYNC!

SYNC is sponsored by AudioFile and powered by Overdrive and starting on May 7th, it will offer two free - that’s right, free - audiobooks to download each week. The downloads are made through the Overdrive Media Console, a free app available for most devices and computers. Weatherford Public Library patrons are already familiar with Overdrive, as it is the service that powers our e-book and e-audiobook collection, North Texas Libraries on the Go.

If you would like to participate in the SYNC 2015, your first step is to sign up for alerts, via e-mail or text. For e-mail, sign up at SYNC’s websitewww.audiobooksync.com. For text (note: texting charges through your carrier may apply), text syncya to 25827 on your phone.

My recommendation for libraries that want a first-class picture book collection in e: start with e-audio. More on that in a week or two

If you followed my tweets yesterday afternoon, they ended with this one. The truth is you have the chance to invest in many more picture book classics if you invest in e-audiobooks over ebooks for the time being.

At last, our big PLA announcement: we are going to begin offering e-audiobooks via our partnership with Findaway World.
