There are library members who prefer audio books, so the World EBook Fair -Gutenberg really adds another dimension that we can promote. I noticed that there are books in various languages that would suit some of our local community and extend the library's community language collections. - example -Classic Chinese Literature Collection. The cost to the user is minimal, if not free. The Project Gutenberg surprisingly started as far back as 1971. The Australian site was set up in 2001. As all titles are in the public domain the titles tend to be "the classics" - adult and children's titles. Some titles are regularly on school reading lists - My Brilliant Career and For the term of his natural life as an example. - a good alternative if all print copies are on loan. The fact that these are all downloadable to the various mobile technologies out there is fantastic.
