Thing # 15 Audiobooks & eBooks

Driving to Papillion Nebraska for 30 years has made me a fan of audio books. There is no better way to pass 10 hours than listening to a good book interpreted by someone with a fabulous reading voice. I have a hard time with eBooks as I don’t do well reading off a computer screen for any length of time. I checked out http://www.freeclassicaudiobooks.com/however, you must have an ipod to download the books, I haven’t one, so can’t use this site. Online books http://digital.library.upenn.edu/books/ has a great banned books section. It is impossible for a school library to own every banned book, this would be a useful site for teachers participating in banned books week. It is costly to maintain an up to date non fiction section, especially in the areas of technology, science, political science and history, ebooks and online may be a solution to the fast paced changes that we are experiencing.
