What’s New?
SUMMER IS . . .
The clothes we wear, the meals we eat, the extra hours of
sunshine--everything about summer seems, well, lighter,
compared to the rest of the year. Why not lighten up your
reading too, with an entertaining summer novel? Enjoy an
old favorite or take a look at our latest releases, including
new books by Daniel Silva, James Lee Burke, Nora
Roberts, Iris Johansen, Steve Martini, Luanne Rice, and
Ridley Pearson. You’ll find more suggestions for easy
summer reading plus a list of debut novels posted on our
library bulletin board this month.
Monthly Focus - Home Cooking
Can’t boil water? Well, there’s no need to try, because summer meals are meant to be cool and easy—just toss a salad, put together a sandwich, or fire up the grill to keep mealtimes simple yet satisfying. Check out our Monthly Focus shelves for books and magazines on summer entertaining and easy food prep for those blistering hot days still to come.
Introducing OverDrive!
For patrons who enjoy the convenience of listening to
books on cassette, CD, and playaway, the newest phase of
audio-to-go is here: downloadable audio books.
The digital versions of audio books may be downloaded
through the internet and played on your desktop or laptop
computer. You can also transfer your selections to a wide
range of portable devices. iPod and Mac, however, do not
currently support WMA (Windows Media Audio) files.
You will need your library card number and PIN number
(usually the last four digits of your phone number) to set up
an account and install the free OverDrive Media console
software at www.listennjnw.org. Explore this easy-to-use
site or ask a staff member for assistance. Information will
also be available through the M.A.I.N. website.
PLAYAWAY - The Newest Way to Curl up with a Great Book!
We have now begun a collection of audio books in a new format
called "playaway".
So what is Playaway?
Playaway is the newest format of audio, combining a wide variety of content with an easy-to-use player all in one small unit. When you receive your Playaway, all you have to do is press play to start listening immediately – there is no need for a separate player, and it comes with earbuds and a battery to make it play.
Playaway is the most simple and immediate way to enjoy music and audiobooks. Its portability allows users to enjoy their favorite authors and titles on-the-go, whenever and wherever.
What makes Playaway unique?
If you don’t have your own ear buds, the library is selling them for
$1.00.
For more information, visit the Playaway
website. Playaways are located on the audio book shelves.
Try one—and let us know what you think!
