Podcasts and Audio Discover
Podcasts involve many of your senses and keep you entertained while providing information. Sound and space age graphics!
Listening to a story like Little Bear Lost from the Denver Public Library and the Orange Country Library Service or Library News on LibVib is great.
From the British Library Evelyn Waughs extracts provides a real insight into the author as a person with references to where the author travelled during their lifetime and the author speaking themself.
From the ABC RollerCoaster interview with Andy Griffith was very funny and gave a tour which would appeal to adults and children in selecting books from Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton.
