Thing 22: Audiobooks

Now that I have an MP3 player, I have really looked forward to using it to listen to audiobooks. I have actually used Overdrive before to find audiobooks through the library's website. I think this is a great way to give patrons access to additional materials that might not be a part of the library's physical collection. As a patron, I like having the opportunity to locate and download audiobooks from home. It kind of stinks that they have a checkout system, so that you can't download a title until someone else is finished with it. It's kind of a let down when you think you've found something and then you get put on a waitlist. Overall, I think this is a great tool that is very convenient.
