Thank heavens! Library is open!

I've just been to my local library, taken books back from March and did a "click and collect" collection of three books!
You choose your prefered genre authors etc. online and they pick books for you!
Not keen on Martina Cole but heyho, the others look good!

I miss browsing though.

Re: Thank heavens! Library is open!

Our library here in the states has reopened by appointment only. We have either curb side pick-up, or we can go inside to browse for 15 minutes.
It is not the same, but at least we can see what is new and offered up.
It's a start.

Anyone tried Librivox?

It's a free library of audio books, a good selection surprisingly good quality and a genuinely free library from a clean website.

https://librivox.org/

Just scan the catalogue, choose, and download. Unzip and away you go!

Re: Thank heavens! Library is open!

Our library is now partially open but I tend to avoid it these days anyway since they turned half of it into a childrens' play area where they can sing as well as read. So much for Ssssssshhhhhhhhhhh!
