Jackson Sanborn) Date: Mon, 4 May 2009 09:14:39 -0400 Subject: [downloadlibrary] New Titles in Audiobook collection Message-ID: <542f6f140905040614i57bfc9feq8f1abee90419719e@mail.gmail.com> Good Morning- This past friday, our second monthly purchase was submitted, and 25 audiobooks (12 in iPod/Mac compatible MP3 format) were added to the Download Library. Last Month, 34 titles (18 in iPod/Mac compatible MP3 format) were added to the collection. Below, you'll find a list of these titles. Each month we'll be adding approximately 20-25 titles, so if you have specific items you would like to see added, please feel free to forward those suggestions on to me, and I'll forward them to the committee. We can't promise we'll be able to pick them up, but I'll be keeping a wish list to pick away at when we can. Also, just a reminder/explanation: There are some titles that, although available in audiobook format on physical media, are not available, for a variety of reasons, in downloadable format (J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series are the most unfortunate example of this). I hope you and your library members are enjoying the service.

The attachments are getting "scrubbed" from the list. (I think this is a usual artifact of Listserv mailings). Maybe they could be copied and pasted into Google Docs? Any other suggestions? Can we see an email list of who is subscribed to the Listserv anywhere?
