Book Reading is one of the joys of my life and I use Audion CDs from Cork City Library and they were good enough to open a branch near me which is very helpful. Staff in the Library are very helpful and read titles to me and recommend reading and request loan books for me . They have not moved to MP3 books,which are used in the children's section and in some Dublin libraries. I would be very interested to hear other experiences on this topic .ie what u use ,where etc Thanks Derry ---Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Flor Lynch Sent: 19 June 2009 12:02 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Re: Audio files & C.Ds Hi Ger,Also try out, in addition to NCBI and your local library, the Calibre Library atwww.calibre.org.uk -- They now also do books in mp3 on CD. Their books - nonfiction, too -are unabridged audio. In all of the cases I mentioned, you need to join thelibrary from whom you will be borrowing.----- Original Message ----- From: "Ger Delaney" <germdelaney2@xxxxxxxxxx>To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 19, 2009 11:15 AM Subject: [vip_students] Audio files & C.Ds Hi Paul,Thanks for replying.
