A short History of the Audiobook
It all started in 1932 with the books on vinyl records. The cassette tapes came next in the 1960s and compact discs in the 1980s. Compact discs are still popular but playaways have their fans too. However all the rage now are the e-audiobooks that you can download on any of your portable devices, phone, iPad, Kindle, or desktop. All of them have one thing in common, and that’s the talented performers who narrate the stories.
The choice is yours and the audiobooks in all genres are available at the Summit Public Library.
