The JCLC now offers audio book downloads! All files download as MP3’s that you can put on your player or burn to cd (though there seems to be no Mac or iPod love). The Hoover Library has offered this for a while, but you had to live in Hoover to be allowed to use it.

I’m glad the JCLC is looking out for the rest of us!

Out of the 112 titles under consideration for the Man Booker Prize only 19 make the longlist.
