Launch of Audio Books by South Dublin Libraries

South Dublin Libraries are delighted to announce the publication of 8 local 
interest books in formats accessible to all.  The series includes short 
stories, poetry and histories relevant to the South Dublin area.

As well as the original print and E-book publications, the series is now 
available in the following audio formats ? 

·       CD audio
·       Downloadable audio from the South Dublin Libraries website
·       DAISY audio (specifically for visually impaired readers)

This exciting new development will mean that readers will be able to listen to 
their favourite local studies publications in a way which suits them ?, 
downloaded to their MP3 player, on CD or as a DAISY book.  DAISY is a format 
which particularly suits visually impaired readers.  It allows the reader 
direct access to chapters, page numbers and other parts of the book making it 
easier to navigate.

The full series comprises the following titles ?

1.  If Those Trees Could Speak by Frank Tracy
2.  All Roads Lead to Tallaght by Patrick Healy
3.  Rathfarnham Roads by Patrick Healy
4.  Glenasmole Roads by Patrick Healy
5.  The Battle of Jadotville by Michael Whelan
6.  County Lines edited by Dermot Bolger
7.  Caught in Amber edited by Eileen Casey
8.  From Monastic Centre to Modern City ? Tallaght: a Guided Walk

Each title is beautifully read by Emer Horgan and Jonathan White who reads the 
male-written stories from ?County Lines and ?Caught in Amber.  Both narrators 
skilfully allow the reader full enjoyment of the audio experience.

Three of the titles have sold in excess of 3,000 copies in hardcopy.

Origination was by ADDA Studios.

The launch will take place in the County Library, Tallaght on Tuesday 10th 
November at 7pm.  All are welcome to attend.
