[CASL-L] Audio Books for Middle (and all) grades

[Cheryl Robertson]

Hi all,
I agree with Christine: you can't beat the eGo CT program.  We also
recommend Libby to our students with library cards, and we hold a
public library card drive at our school every year.  Other issues we
encounter are that our students need longer checkout periods or that
numerous students need the same title.  I don't know what the answer is.
