"To Read or Not to Read?"

Happy Monday, SAPL folk. Well, the answer to my question is obvious: READ! Of course with the hetic schedules we have nowadays it can be difficult, if not impossible,to get through a page, let alone a whole book. I say this as the mum of a very active five-year-old and a trying to crawl four-month-old. I rarely get to read anything outside of work beside internet articles (about why my baby doesn't like to sleep at night) and children's storybooks. Gotta love Fancy Nancy and Pete the Cat though!

Which is why I like audio books. I can read them while I work, while I do the dishes, as I'm driving to work to the babysitters and to home. When I lived five hours away and drove down for visits, audio books kept me awake and highly entertained (I imagine the other drivers were entertained to see me yelling at my CD player...what can I say, it was an upsetting plot twist).

SAPL has a small selection of audio books. I would order more, but I haven't noticed a lot of hardcore audio book readers in the area. We have a few exceptions and we often order books through interlibrary loan for these invested book lovers.

So I'm offering you, my dear patrons, this friendly reminder to check out our audiobooks. If we don't have what you want, we will do our best to get it in a timely manner.

Our small but awesome audio book section!

As another small reminder, this week we are short a couple of staff members who are on vacation. Please be patient as we work to get you the books you need.

Yours in reading,

Sarah

P.S. The DVD section is right next to the audio books. If you can't stand listening to someone read to you, you can always enjoy the moving pictures. : D We can order through interlibrary loan,  movies, TV series, etc. Just give us time and we'll get it to you!
