National Audio Book Month


Most would agree that June is a fabulous month! Classes are letting out, the days are longer, and the sun is shining (most of the time) in Missoula. June is also National Audio Book Month. If you haven't ever listened to a book, give it a try already!

Missoula Public Library has an awesome selection of fiction and non-fiction titles on cassette-tape and CD that you can checkout for four weeks. There is something for everyone! You also have access to downloadable audio books using your library card at MontanaLibrary2Go online. These titles "checkout" for two weeks and can be downloaded to your PC or laptop, and are transferable to your MP3 player. The library even has MP3 players available for check out and an audio book download station located across from the reference desk for your convenience. You'll never have to worry about overdue fines or misplacing a downloadable audio book title since it is digital and will automatically "check-in" after two weeks.

Call 721-BOOK or stop by the reference desk for a quick downloadable audio book tutorial; or step into the library's Entertainment Central to browse audio books for kids, teens, and adults.

Watch this blog for more tidbits and reviews of audio books. Until then, have fun listening!
