I had no idea that my public library has so many wonderful tools! I only used their website to put books on hold. I think the downloadable audio books are very cool. It's so interesting to me that you can check them out for 21 days. I downloaded one to my computer and it was so easy to do. I could see downloading them to my MP3 player and using it on long car rides. I would think an elemetary teacher could use it to download some children's books to help with reading. I am not sure where the advantage would be as a secondary teacher would be. I would love to hear about others ideas for using this in the classroom.

The main academic use I've experienced is trying to get an audio version of a required book into a student's reach, especially if that student struggles with reading. I also tried downloading an audiobook for someone's history day research (the Loon group doing the gangster . . . I forgot his name). I ended up finding some other print resources for them, though, before I was successful with the download.
