...at least one library has come up with a novel way to get teens into
libraries: put audiobooks onto iPod Shuffles. We have it on good word
that the South Huntington Public Library in Suffolk County, New York, is
doing just that.

 

Readers comment:

I am a youth services librarian and I think this is a a great idea! I'm
in favor of many measures libraries use to encourage young people to
read (whether they're reading or listening to a book). It's not easy for
old-fashioned books to compete with all the gadgets out there, so
libraries need to adapt to the changing needs of their audiences.
