General Collection

The Library has an extensive collection of audiobooks. Books on cassette tape, CDs, and self-contained digital players are available.

Classics Collection

Although we recognize books that are called classics, we may forget why they earned that label. A book becomes a classic because its ability to intrigue, excite, and entertain has stood the test of time. Classics are the best of the best, those that endure after the best-seller lists have faded and the fads moved on. Time after time these books have been read and enjoyed. And time after time, our audio productions of the classics have earned the praise of critics. We have Emma, by Jane Austin to Swann’s Way  by Marcel Proust.
This collection is CD only.
