To answer this question is to ask myself if a library should carry all topics. The answer to that, of coarse, is yes. Audiobooks are a great way for those who love to read, to enjoy it without cracking open the book and having full attention on the pages, or computer screen. Let’s not fool ourselves. This is a multi-tasking world and some of us who are too busy with driving, talking on the phone, making lists…and keeping them too, might enjoy the ease of someone reading to them. We loved being read to as children and the enjoyment doesn’t have to stay in the past. The bold truth is that many of us just don’t have the time we used to, to sit and enjoy a book for hours at a time (at least for now). In the meantime, audiobooks are a sensible alternative.

Why shouldn’t readers be able to choose audiobooks the same way that they would go to the library and pick out a book? With so many technical advancements in the world, why would audiobooks be overlooked? I hope that they wouldn’t. These are items that add to the appeal of modern day tools and techniques. So, we say “Yes” to more audiobooks!
