Kansas EZ Library (http://www.kslib.info/digitalbooks.html) is a service of the Kansas State Library and other contributing Kansas Libraries. Any resident of Kansas can use the service to checkout audiobooks and eBooks online.
Registration requires a Kansas Library Card (http://www.kslc.org). If you don’t already have a Kansas Library Card, (not the same as a regular local library card) you can get one at any Kansas public or school library.
Because June is national audiobook month, now is the perfect time to talk about the audiobook side of Kansas EZ Library. With tablets, dedicated eReaders, and all things eBook on the rise, but you might be surprised to know that the audiobook side of Kansas EZ Library is actually still more popular.
The well-established audiobooks platform called One Click Digital has more Kansas users, more daily circulations (more than 10,000 checkouts in May alone), and more new books available for checkout than the eBook platforms.
Newly added audiobooks that might appeal to Dad include:
"A serpent's tooth" by Craig Johnson - From the Book Description - When a lost Mormon child wanders into Absaroka County, the intrepid Wyoming sheriff teams up with feisty deputy Victoria Moretti and longtime friend Henry Standing Bear on a high plains scavenger hunt that leads them to a violent interstate polygamy group.
"Shattered trident" by Larry Bond - From the Book Description - While trailing a Chinese nuclear attack sub, Jerry Mitchell, the captain of USS North Dakota, is shocked to see the Chinese boat torpedo a Vietnamese merchant ship.
This blatant act of aggression is the opening gambit in a war that has blindsided the U.S. and quickly embroiled all nations in the western Pacific. These nations, bound together in the newly formed Littoral Alliance, have begun a covert submarine campaign aimed at crippling China's economy before China can set in motion its own plot to dominate the region...
"A delicate truth" by John Le Carré - From the Book Description - A counter-terrorist operation, codenamed Wildlife, is being mounted on the British crown colony of Gibraltar. Its purpose: to capture and abduct a high-value jihadist arms buyer. Its authors: an ambitious Foreign Office Minister, a private defense contractor who is also his bosom friend, and a shady American CIA operative of the evangelical far-right. So delicate is the operation that even the Minister’s personal private secretary, Toby Bell, is not cleared for it...
"Zero Hour" by Clive Cussler and Graham Brown - From the Book Description - It is called zero point energy, and it really exists--a state of energy contained in all matter everywhere, and thus all but unlimited. Nobody has ever found a way to tap into it, however--until one scientist discovers a way. Or at least he thinks he has. The problem is, his machines also cause great earthquakes, even fissures in tectonic plates. One machine is buried deep underground; the other is submerged in a vast ocean trench. If Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala and the rest of the NUMA team aren't able to find and destroy them, and soon, the world will be on the threshold of a new era of earth tremors and unchecked volcanism.Of course, you don't have to go online to check out audiobooks. You can also come into the library and check out some of the following new books on CD:
- The tooth tattoo by Peter Lovesey
- Screwed by Eoin Colfer.
- The golden egg by Donna Leon
- The redeemer by Jo Nesbo and Don Bartlett
