It's Not Your Mother's Library--eAudiobooks

2009-08-31T16:22:00.000-07:00

Did you know the library offers downloadable eAudiobooks…and it is free!

Now you can create your free login to NetLibrary and begin dowloading eAudiobooks from your local library OR from your home. Stop in at the Library and sign up now. Audiobooks can be downloaded to your PC in two sizes. The smaller size is recommended for those with slower connections. You can then listen on your PC or download to an mp3 player. You will need Media Player 9 for Windows or later, Musicmatch Jukebox 8.2 or later or Nullsoft Winamp 5 to download.

Download times for an average 9 hour audiobook range from about an hour for a radio quality audiobook on a 56K modem to about 10 minutes for CD quality on a high-speed cable modem. (Info on DSL, How Cable Modems work)

Audiobook files work with some portable music players, portable media centers, pocket PCs, mp3 players, and many smartphones. Audiobooks are not divided into chapters. There are 3 ways to "save your place" when listening is interrupted:

use the bookmark feature (on some higher-end mp3 players)
use the off/on resume feature on many mp3 players
note the elapsed minute on your mp3 screen and fast-forward to that point when you resume you listening.

Your audiobook will work for 3 weeks and then stop working unless it is renewed online.
You can have access to 10 audiobooks at a time.
You CANNOT burn audiobooks to a CD.
There is a wide selection of current, popular, and classic titles.

Need help? On September 21 we are hosting a get to know the library from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm. We will be here waiting to serve you.

This is what you missed last week. Each participant was given a portion of a famous painting and had to reproduce that portion on a 8" x 11" sheet of paper. We then put all the pieces together and came up with this picture. Not bad for amateurs.

Staff Hot Picks

2009-04-01T16:42:00.000-07:00

Tempted all night
Liz Carlyle.

"Lady Phaedra Northampton is a proper English miss--but burdened by a dark secret. She's buried her shame in running her wealthy brother Lord Nash's household while hiding behind a sharp wit and dull wardrobe...until a reckless village maid's disappearance pulls her into London's seedy underworld. A former mercenary and jaded spy-for-hire, Tristan Talbot, Lord Avoncliffe, now does little, and manages to do it scandalously. Though Tristan's an out-and-out rogue, when his dying father begs him to delve into the secrets behind a notorious brothel--a perfect task for his talents!--Tristan can't refuse. Is the brothel a front for a notorious Russian spy ring?

Angels fall
Nora Roberts.

Reece Gilmore has been on the run since a brutal crime ruined her life, causing nightmares and panic attacks that leave her desperate for an escape, and when she arrives at the Grand Tetons, she thinks she may have found a sanctuary, until she witnesses a murder that no one believes ever happened.

Rhett Butler's people
Donald McCaig.

Chronicles the life and times of dashing hero Rhett Butler and the people who shaped his world--his unyielding father Langston, best friend and onetime slave Tunis Bonneau, former love Belle Watling, and the passionate Scarlett O'Hara.

Brisingr, or, The seven promises of Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Bjartskular
Christopher Paolini.

The further adventures of Eragon and his dragon Saphira as they continue to aid the Varden in the struggle against the evil king, Galbatorix.

The fountainhead
Ayn Rand ; with an afterword by Leonard Peikoff.

The Fountainhead has become an enduring piece of literature, more popular now than when published in 1943. On the surface, it is a story of one man, Howard Roark, and his struggles as an architect in the face of a successful rival, Peter Keating, and a newspaper columnist, Ellsworth Toohey. But the book addresses a number of universal themes: the strength of the individual, the tug between good and evil, the threat of fascism. The confrontation of those themes, along with the amazing stroke of Rand's writing, combine to give this book its enduring influence.

Atlas Shrugged

Ayn Rand

"Who is John Galt?" is the immortal question posed at the beginning of Ayn Rand's masterpiece. The answer is the astonishing story of a man who said he would stop the motor of the world-and did. As passionate as it is profound, Atlas Shrugged is one of the most influential novels of our time. In it, Rand dramatizes the main tenets of Objectivism, her philosophy of rational selfishness. She explores the ramifications of her radical thinking in a world that penalizes human intelligence and integrity. Part mystery, part thriller, part philosophical inquiry, part volatile love affair, Atlas Shrugged is the book that confirmed Ayn Rand as one of the most popular novelist and most respected thinkers of the 20th century.

Twilight : A Novel

by Elie Wiesel, Marion Wiesel

Raphael Lipkin is a man obsessed. He hears voices. He talks to ghosts. He is spending the summer at the Mountain Clinic, a psychiatric hospital in upstate New York--not as a patient, but as a visiting professional with a secret, personal quest.A professor of literature and a Holocaust survivor, Raphael, having rebuilt his life since the war, sees it on the verge of coming apart once more. He longs to talk to Pedro, the man who rescued him as a fifteen-year-old orphan from postwar Poland and brought him to Paris, becoming his friend, mentor, hero, and savior. But Pedro disappeared inside the prisons of Stalin's Russia shortly after the war. Where is Pedro now, and how can Raphael discern what is true and what is false without him?

The book thief
by Markus Zusak.

Trying to make sense of the horrors of World War II, Death relates the story of Liesel--a young German girl whose book-stealing and story-telling talents help sustain her family and the Jewish man they are hiding, as well as their neighbors.

Heaven, Texas
Susan Elizabeth Phillips.

From the author of It Had to Be You comes a deliciously, sexy contemporary romance. Former pro-football star Bobby Tom Denton has agreed to lend his fame and his name to a movie. But when he doesn't show up, the film company sends straight-laced Gracie Snow to bring him to the set—with surprising results.
