Thousands of gently used books looking for a new home at low prices. Dealers must scan at tables. Donations of sellable books are welcome until May 21 at the library.

From a DeKalb County Public Library press release…

DEKALB COUNTY – All DeKalb County Public Library branches will close for furlough days on Monday, November 8 and Monday, December 6, 2010 due to county budget shortfalls. However, online services will remain available through our eBranch at dekalblibrary.org, including the Catalog.

The Library will attempt to re-schedule programs planned for those days. Please check with staff at your local branch.

As I mentioned in a comment yesterday, I’ve been sitting on this post for a while.

A few weeks back, I, along with many other DeKalb Library fans, received an email announcing the library’s new online audiobooks software “OverDrive.”

Heading over to the site in a “this will make a great post!” fever, I was immediately excited by the format of the new site.  The audiobooks were now much easier to discover thanks to a more intuitive set-up and prominent book covers.

However, downloading and listening to an audiobook proved a bit more difficult.
