AUDIOBOOK Month:
Monday Musing on Library options and Hoopla
Monday Musing on a fav destination, the public library!
Have you paid a recent trip to visit the audiobook shelves during June?
I've stopped in at several local libraries and discovered there certainly is wide variety
and a difference between each in the size of selection.
Of course, the collections are broader when viewing them online!
I've had several delivered to my nearest branch to save the travel and time.
Another feature I'm musing on tday is the vast collection of audiobooks available
via streaming hoopla. Instantly.
One of my anticipated #20booksofsummer was in my library's online catalogue,
instantly available to me with my library card via hoopla.

I am entirely impressed with this brilliant option.
I'm now ensconced in the dark world of gothic England, thanks to the incredible
narration of Amanda McKnight portraying the story and characters of Jessica Dotta's writing
of the Price of Privilege series [book 3].

Plus, hoopla includes digital movies, ebooks, music - 24/7.
Worth checking into and checking out!
Considering wait time for reservations and travel, definitely a viable option
that saves time and effort, especially when we, as readers, would rather be reading
or listening!
Your thoughts?
Have you tried hoopla? or are you already a regular?
I'm glad it simplified even this one audiobook for me with the several summer challenges ahead.
It also familiarized me with the option and its personal value.
I'll be intentional in choosing hoopla whenever available.
Overdrive is another option, though with it, you must wait til copies are available.
If there's only one copy and a wait list, you have no way of knowing when it will be
your opp to read or listen. Good to have some reading flexibility with that choice.

Don't forget to signup for the SYNC Free weekly audiobook downloads
available through to August.
And Librivox offers classics on audio Free as well. Sample narration as quality varies.

From Jenn's Monday Musing at A Daily Rhythm
THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION:
"Do you have a favourite book from childhood? What is it?"
~
My answer?
HEIDI is definitely one. Delightful intro to alpine life in Switzerland
and a charming wee orphan girl with strength and courage.
~

The other, I'd race to the library shelves looking for the next one
in the series of 6 - THE BORROWERS by Mary Norton.
