June is a perfect time to celebrate National Audiobook
Month, as family vacations get underway and folks spend more time in outdoor pursuits
like gardening. At the Ridgefield
Library, we offer an extensive collection of listening material on CD, mp3 and
Playaway and in several digital formats. Options include fiction and
non-fiction for adults, favorite children’s and teen titles, recommendations
for family listening, language learning material and even lecture courses by
celebrated college professors.
Audiobooks are a great boon for commuters who want to put
their travel time to good use catching up with the latest bestseller. They can also be of great benefit to
beginning or reluctant readers who need a helping hand. Playaways in particular, with their
self-contained player and simple one-button operation, are popular with those
whose vision or dexterity may be less than 100%.
Some listeners seek out audiobooks read by particular
narrators. Some readers are such a perfect fit with the material they present
that they add immense pleasure to the listening experience.
Look for audiobooks in physical formats in the adult,
children’s and teen areas. For a quick start to using digital audiobooks, just
click on the square blue “Download Audiobooks” icon on our homepage at
www.ridgefieldlibrary.org.
