Say as a sort of intro/starter to help them figure out if the genre’s to their tastes or not.

      If you like Audiobooks I enjoyed the narration for it and Libby had most of them for my library.

      And they’re really short so they’re great filler when you’re waiting for another book and don’t want something huge like Dune or the Wheel of Time books

        Yeah I’m deep into audiobooks these days. Opened a whole new way to experience massive books for me. Ooh I bet Libby has it in my local lib. Otherwise there’s always Harris County.

          Have you looked into Hoopla as well? It’s sort of like Libby but more multimedia, with movies/shows/music to borrow alongside books/comics. If your closest library doesn’t have it, one in a nearby city might.

          Definitely recommend it, as I’ve found a number of books/audiobooks and other media that wasn’t available via Libby or my local library.

            I’ve explored Hoopla since it’s part of the library card. But what should I watch on it? Any recommendations? What’s your favorite watch on it - movie or tv show…

              Not the person above but I actually find audiobooks there that aren’t in Libby are aren’t available.

              And some comics such as the Altered Carbon ones

              If you’d like a fun mix of animated styles, Genius Party and Genius Party Beyond are two fun collections of short animated films. If you’d like some lighthearted history, Horatio’s Drive is an interesting watch about the first transcontinental drive across the United States in an early automobile, before highways and roads had been built.
