Spend Your Commute Time by Catching Up on Your Reading

Urban sprawl. It's a reality of life in the GTA with more and more people getting caught in daily gridlocks and bumper-to-bumper traffic jams. With extreme winter weather fast approaching, it will only get worse. Is urban sprawl taking its toll on your leisure time? Finding it difficult to keep up with your favourite authors and books? Reach for your volume control, instead of your horn.

While we can't make traffic go away (see this Toronto Star article), Pickering Public Library can help alleviate some of the frustrations associated with daily commuting. We have an excellent assortment of audiobooks in various formats to help you read with your ears including books on compact disc, MP3 compact discs, as well as the traditional books on tape. For all the digital enthusiasts out there, Pickering Public Library has options for you as well. Netlibrary, one of our content providers, has a fantastic collection of eAudiobooks that can be played on certain portable audio devices and even at home on your computer. Please see our blog page on eAudiobooks for more details. For those that want to be notified of newly acquired audiobook materials can even sign up for our monthly newsletters, one of which includes audiobooks.

For more assistance on any of our audiobook collections, please visit any one of our five branches or simply phone 905-831-6265.
