With over 1200 titles available either on cassette tapes or CD’s, our adult Audio Book Section is a mini-library of its own. It includes fiction, biography, history, business, inspirational, and educational titles. In addition, as a member of the Northeast Texas Library System, we participate in their rotating collection program. Every three months twenty five audio titles are sent to us from another library in the organization. Thus, there’s always something new in our Audio Section. Like all materials at our Library, audio books may be checked out for three weeks and renewed once. The titles listed here are abridged editions unless the unabridged notation, UA, is shown.
Over 250 of our audio books are available on CD’s. They are shelved separately and include mostly current fiction and non-fiction titles.
