Enjoy a New Playaway Audiobook!

New at the library are 22 Playaway titles, including all three titles of The Hunger Games Trilogy: The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay.  Playaways are portable audio books, smaller than most iPods.  They also plug into most car dashboards that have an audio jack. You can check out a wire from the Ritz Library if you would like to listen to one in your car.

If you need a good laugh, why not pick up Seriously... I'm Kidding by Ellen Degeneres or The Onion Book of Known Knowledge?  Enjoy classical works? There's Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare and The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham. Working on a homework assignment? Perhaps, The Greatest Speeches of All Time or The Great Poets: Emily Dickinson would be useful.  Some business titles that may be edifying are:
Primal Leadership by Goleman, Boyatzis & McKee and The 80/20 Principle by Richard Knoch.

Why Men Fake It by Abraham Morgentaler, M.D.
