At the Sirsi users group, Steven Abram noted that our military can use their public library resources from overseas! That had not occurred to me.

This morning when I was at my local library, I noticed the down loadable audio books poster. I asked how one used them? The instructions are online- you do need to create an account with the library. The books are checked out for 7, 14 or 21 days. They can be downloaded to your computer, mp3 player or i-pod!

If my local library offers this - I'll bet many others offer this great way to listen to books. Remind your military friends and family they can use their public library card even while overseas. I'll bet you could get the GALILEO password for them too....
