Get Caught Listening! Audiobooks Are Now On Display.

Officially, June is Audiobook Month, but we've decided that our new audiobook display just couldn't wait until then.  In preparation for next week's 2011 Audie Awards, we're highlighting the 2011 audiobook nominees that we have in our collection (listed below).  And with Memorial Day just around the corner, we thought this would be the perfect time to promote our most recent audio acquisitions.  Being stalled on the highway in long-weekend traffic is no fun, but a captivating audiobook can help make the time fly!  Stop by and take a look at our selections.  Keep checking back, new titles are being added as they are received!
