The NetLibrary access on the PLCMC is unavailable to our users so we have had to use different sources to complete Thing #22 Audio Books.

Yarra Plenty is currently trialling 'Overdrive' (available on our Intranet)
I immediately zoomed in on 'The Worst Case Scenario Survival handbook'. It is a running joke with my sister when we explored the Carolinas and traversed the length of Florida last year. My 5th visit to the USA, her 1st and all the nervousness that went with it! I decided to nickname her WSC (Worst Case Scenario!) after several 'incidents' trying to negotiate the highways, byways, backroads, Alligator alleyways and homes of the elusive Black Bears! Jumping at shadows is an understatement!

The book seemed to be downloading to RealPlayer but whether system problems here or Overdrive itself, I was not able to listen. Perhaps thats a good thing, I may have been told not to actually hike through the Pisgah Wilderness National Forest of NC without adequate clothing during an amazing thunderstorm.

Overdrive certainly looks to have potential for libraries and has an amazing array of up to date titles across all genres. Check out the libraries using Overdrive for their patrons.

I downloaded and listened to the Tale of Peter Rabbit, which was excellent quality.

The eMovies is certainly worth checking out with many historical pieces including War footage.
