Tompkins County Public Library has announced the addition of audiobooks on MP3 CDs to its collection.
This new format will allow patrons to enjoy entire books by their favorite authors on one CD, replacing the traditional audiobook, which on average required eight CDs. This will save Librarians processing time and shelf space and will eliminate the need for patrons to change CDs while driving or fumble through multiple CDs to find the next disc.
MP3 CDs require special hardware, but home computers with CD/DVD drives are set to accept these files, as are most newer home and automobile CD/DVD players.
TCPL already has several new titles available in this format, including: “Dead in the Family” by Charlaine Harris, “Solar” by Ian McEwan, “Double Comfort Safari Club” by Alexander McCall Smith and “The Postmistress” by Sarah Blake. Many beloved classics are also available, among them: “Sense and Sensibility” and “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen, “White Fang” and the “Call of the Wild” by Jack London and “Leaves of Grass” by Walt Whitman.
For more information about this format or any of the titles mentioned, visit or call the Library’s Reference Department at (607) 272-4557 extension 259.
