We recently had a patron ask about listening to audiobooks on her iPod.  My guess is that there may be a number of people who enjoy Audiobooks and their iPods and would like to make them work together. It’s quite possible to do so, but it takes a bit of work and possibly some software.  Here are some suggestions for both information and software that may make the process easier.  Patrons who have other suggestions are encouraged to leave comments.

Aldoblog: Aldo on Audiobooks for iPods & iTunes

Macworld: Converting Audiobooks to iPods

Mp3 to iPod Audiobook Converter-Windows or Mac

Audiobook Builder-Mac Only

On March 27th from 6:30 to 7:30 we will be having a board game night for ages 5 and up. Liz will be bringing Candy Land and Twister, but feel free to bring your favorite game to share. Snacks will be provided.

Through a collaboration between the American Library Association and the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the library has received two copies of the LIVESTRONG Survivorship Notebooks. The notebooks are “designed to organize and guide one’s cancer experience with information about cancer-related concerns, worksheets and stories from cancer survivors.” One notebook will be available to circulate and the other will remain in the reference collection.  Additional materials will be available via this collaboration later this year. 

Because we continue to experience a  decrease in attendance for our storytimes, we have scaled back the number of sessions offered. They currently  meet on alternating Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings. Tuesdays for preschoolers and Fridays for toddlers. Please check the web calendar for the dates and times each month.
