"My pick this month is Sherlock Holmes. I love the classic tasles of this sleuth and this beloved sidekick John Watson. I understanf with summer coming up shortly that many of you will not be here to in some cases able to go to a library. The beautiful thing about NETLIBRARY AUDIOBOOKS is that you can check out books online through WYLDCAT at any time during the summer. I recommend you do that and that you also check out Sherlock Holmes."
