[LM_NET] Audio books thank you

[Heidi Ginal <hginal@ADELPHIA.NET>]

To the wonderful LM_Netters,

 

Thank you so much for your responses with setting up an Audio book library.
100% of the dozens of replies were in favor of an Audio Library, whether the
books/tapes came back damaged/missing or not.  Several mentioned that
Listening Library replaces tapes for free, if purchased from them.

 

All of the research articles agreed that being read to - is what increases
literacy.  In today's times, where parents are both working, single familes,
etc, etc, students are not always exposed to read alouds.  In these (and
other situations:  disabilities, ESL) the Audio Library is a wonderful
resource.

 

Thank you again to all who responded.  Your time and energy was so
appreciated.

 

Heidi Ginal, Librarian
