Lezlee's Blog

Submitted by Lezlee on Sat, 07/24/2010 - 2:55pm

Every summer the demand for audio books seems to rise with the heat.  For every car ride and every child in that car, patrons need a good book to listen to.  I am always happy to recommend my favorite titles and glad to see  that the interest is so great, but I wonder why it seems to taper off when summer comes to an end.  As an avid audio book listener myself, I am rarely without a book that I am "reading".  I love books on CD.  Even if you just go from here to there around town, and even after the vacations are over, remember the benefits and pleasures of hearing a good book.  You are never too old to enjoy being read to.  Next time you come to the library, let me know what YOU have been listening to.  Miss Lezlee.
