Audio
Readers can access an audio format of the book by obtaining a Boston Public Library (BPL) eCard. BPL eCards are available to anyone who lives, resides part-time to attend school, owns property, or works in Massachusetts.
The town of Amherst's public library, the Jones Library, is also an option for audiobook access. Students can sign up for full library cards (access to entire collections) in person at the Jones Library (branches in South Amherst, Amherst downtown, and North Amherst), or for an eCard (access to digital collections, including ebooks and e-audiobooks).
It's free and easy to register for either or both of these library cards! Contact us at the library if you'd like help registering.
