How to Access & Use the Items Listed Below
This page shows freely available eAudiobooks for the required readings in your class.
Any books whose titles are blue will link to Archive.org where they are read by a computerized voice. These do not require an account or library card.
Understandably, the computerized voice isn't for everyone. For audiobooks read by a person, look for those marked "Available at Mid-Hudson" that can be accessed through the public library.
To access these, apply for a library card online through the Adriance Memorial Library (Poughkeepsie) using the link below.
Once you have a library card, you can search for book or the short story title with author name in the Mid-Hudson Library catalog below to access the eAudiobook. An additional free account may be needed to download it to your device.
