Success with Digital Audiobooks
February 12, 2008 02:21 PM | General, Grants, LSTAMollie Pherson, LSTA Project Librarian
As part of the Digital Audiobooks for Seniors LSTA grant, I have been making the rounds to the different participating libraries to give training sessions to local seniors. So far, each training session has been fabulous! In fact, the training session at the Chatfield Public Library was featured in the The Chatfield News this afternoon. Check it out! Here is the link: Digital Audiobooks Story
My favorite parts of this job are visiting the different libraries, teaching patrons something new, and visiting with friendly folks. Last Thursday, I made my way down to the Rushford Public Library to visit with eight local seniors and to teach them how to use audiobooks. After the successful session, one of the participants came up to me and told me how he just loved SELCO and thanked me for giving him the ability to check out books from everywhere. He was so appreciative of our services. It was a truly touching moment, and it makes me realize even more why I jumped into this field in the first place.
I will be out and about until the beginning of May, so if you would like to come and learn about digital audiobooks, here is a schedule for upcoming training sessions:
Monday, February 18 @ 1:00 p.m. Preston Senior Center
Thursday, February 21 @ 10:30 a.m. Caledonia Public Library
Thursday, February 28 @ 4:00 p.m. Lanesboro Public Library
Thursday, March 13 @ 10:30 a.m. Caledonia Public Library
Friday, March 14 @ 10:00 a.m. Hokah Public Library
Hope to see you there!
