Sure, yeah.

Audiobook Café
Behind-the-scenes: A Glimpse in the Public Library System

So I was talking earlier about...

Audiobook Café
Behind-the-scenes: A Glimpse in the Public Library System

Reading Canadian, and I'm a big fan of Canadian authors.

Behind-the-scenes: A Glimpse in the Public Library System

Miriam Taves and Heather O'Neill, I think, are a couple of my favorites.

Behind-the-scenes: A Glimpse in the Public Library System

And I believe, I can't remember if I read the book or listened to the audiobook, but Capital of Dreams by Heather O'Neill was one that I really liked last year.

I'm also a big fan of Barbara Kingsolver, and I'm a bit behind, but I just listened to the audiobook of Demon Copperhead, which I really liked.

Behind-the-scenes: A Glimpse in the Public Library System

I'm often listening to audiobooks from our Skip the Line collection, which means I only have seven days to get through them.

Audiobook Café
Behind-the-scenes: A Glimpse in the Public Library System

So I listen to them on quite high speeds, up to two times speed.

Audiobook Café
Behind-the-scenes: A Glimpse in the Public Library System

So I can get through a lot of audiobooks that way.

Audiobook Café
Behind-the-scenes: A Glimpse in the Public Library System

Absolutely, yeah.

I will say 58% of Calgarians are active library users, so that's the majority of

Audiobook Café
Behind-the-scenes: A Glimpse in the Public Library System

Calgarians do have a library card.

Audiobook Café
Behind-the-scenes: A Glimpse in the Public Library System

But not everyone is checking out lots of books.

Audiobook Café
Behind-the-scenes: A Glimpse in the Public Library System

People are using our services in other ways, attending programs or using our computers.
