Life/education: Audio books for free!!!

I was recently made aware of a very nifty little tool that is available through many public libraries. Overdrive is a company that provides audiobook downloads for free with access through your local library. All you need is a library card and a computer. (and I am assuming you have a computer or you wouldn't be reading this blog!) Here is the link for you to check and see if your local library is a member of the Overdrive community. Overdrive has hundreds of titles with many classics and children's literatuer choices. Check it out, and BTW, if your library is not listed don't hesitate to check libraries near you. My local library is not a part of the Overdrive network, but I have borrowing priveledges at the main library system in the large city close to us and it is a part of the overdrive netwrok. Marc has found MANY authors that he enjoys listening to in the short time that we have been aware of this and the kids and I are currently listening to several audiobooks ourselves. You have to download a small program to get the books from the Overdrive system to your computer and then the process is as easy as 1-2-3.

What a great service!
