What’s happening at Carnegie Library?

I used to think I had to have long commute to enjoy audiobooks. Without a consistent 30, 60, or 90-minute drive, how could I get involved in a storyline or be inspired by a self-help title? Finally, last fall, after another day of errands, work, and dropping off and picking up my kids for sporting events and the like, I realized just how much potential “reading” time I had!

Since then, I have kept an audiobook on hand at all times. Audiobooks as CD, digital download, or Playaway, are a convenient and an efficient way to make the most of your time. Listening to books can add a new and interesting element to travel, housework and exercise. Check one out today!

Adults, the Carnegie Book Club will feature “Mystery” titles this year! On Thursday, May 18 at 5 p.m., the book club will meet to discuss Six Years by Harlan Coben. Known for his masterful psychological suspense, Harlan Coben is sure to keep you entertained. Longtime fans and new readers are welcome. Copies are available in large print, regular print, and audiobook near the circulation desk; get yours today!
