So what's the deal here?

Welcome to the blog of Gwen, photographer/comic trapped in the body of an occasionally mild-mannered (but tenacious and dedicated) Reference Assistant. This is my effort to explore the true meaning of the 23 things designed to help us learn (master would be a bit too much for me to expect) Web 2.0.

"thing" no. 22: downloadable audio books

This is not as easy to do as it sounds.

At the Des Plaines Public Library, where I work, we haven't had NetLibrary for several months. So recently I went to the Web site of the Mount Prospect Public Library (MPPL), my "home" library, but they don't have it either.

What MPPL does have is something called MyLibrarydv, whereby you can download movies, documentaries, etc. But no audiobooks. I signed up for that last night, but their selections don't thrill me.

So where can I get audiobooks to download? I suppose I'll have to keep hunting around. I didn't think it would be all that difficult to do. Silly me. I was wrong.

Now that you ask, it's hard to put into words. Reserved at first, but tend to warm up with time. Hope never to lose my sense of humor... or my curiosity. A true wiseguy (there is another word that begins with an "s") pretty much since I could talk... Planning one of these days to return to the piano. Fascinated by the many ironies in (and of) life.

(Some of) my favorite things

  • Cross Creek (old flick)
  • Educating Rita (old flick)
  • Julia (old flick)
  • On the Waterfront (quite old flick)
  • Out of Africa (old flick)
  • The Verdict (I think this was my favorite Paul Newman movie.)
