Take The Library With You: 24/7 Downloads

Planning a trip this holiday season? Busy with last minute details? Who's got time to go to the library! The good news is, you don't have to. Why not add one more online shopping stop and visit your Sno-Isle Libraries download site. It's available 24/7 with access to free audiobooks for IPod and mP3 players, and free eBooks for your Kindle, Nook or other eReader.
We just got back from a terrific weekend in eastern Washington. On the way over and back we listened to Bill Bryson's At home: A short history of private life, which I had downloaded earlier to my mP3 player. Read beautifully by the author, it was both fascinating and thought provoking. Even more important, it made the miles speed by.
At our friends' house with time to relax, we dipped into eBooks downloaded free from the library web site: The Surrendered by Chang-Rae Lee on my Kindle; and Wallace Stegner's classic, Angle of Repose on my husband's eReader.
Of course I still love those print books - one in the hand, one on the eReader and one to listen to as I walk, ride, clean house and work in the yard is generally about right.
