Finding Books Through Story Tapes 

I’m not a good reader (yet!) but I love stories. Seventeen years ago I discovered Audio Tapes in the library and it opened my eyes to books and I have not looked back. It allows me to communicate with people who read books and talk about authors. As it would take me a very long time to read a book, Audio Books give me the chance to enjoy them as much as everybody else. In the time I have been going to the library they have not run out of stories for me to listen to. All authors should be asked to put their books on Audio Tapes because there are people who cannot see, people like me who cannot read “Big Books” and people who are too busy to sit down with a book. Why not try it for yourself?

Thanks Janet.

I like the 'yet' statement early on in your article, and, I also agree with the Audio Tape request.  Why don't you take this further?
