Audiobooks
Remember the old commercial about Copenhagen snuff? "Yup, there’s sometimes when you just cain’t smoke." Well…"Yup, there’s sometimes when you just cain’t read!" Like when you’re driving or knitting or working on your car in the garage. For times like these, we have (da...dum) audiobooks.

The Boulder City Library has several thousand audiobooks for both children and adults. For the most part, audiobook titles duplicate print titles that the Library also owns.

Audiobooks are spoken versions of published books. Boulder City Library has two kinds of audiobooks: cassette and CD. These will work in your car stereo, your home stereo, your walkman or your boombox. The Library mainly buys unabridged audiobooks, so you can listen to the entire story.

Three or four audiobooks will get you to San Francisco and back without having to “channel-surf” your radio past daytime talk radio programs, the radio preachers or the soybean reports.

Audiobooks are also great for those times when you’ve had a hard day in front of the computer, your eyes hurt and you just want to relax and be entertained.

At Boulder City Library, audiobooks are loaned for the same checkout period as other books – three weeks. As with other titles you may be looking for, if you don’t find what you want at the Library, let the library staff know what you need – if we can find it at one of the other libraries, we can request that the item be reserved and sent to Boulder City for you to pick up.

When you borrow audiobooks from the Boulder City Library, please don’t drop them off in the bookdrop outside – the bookdrop is made of steel and can get pretty hot during the daytime. The extreme heat can damage the tapes and the disks. Please return audiobooks inside the Library.

You can find out more about audiobooks by visiting our web site at www.bclibrary.org
