Heritage Services staff are sharing their lock down tips and this week, Kathryn writes about the joys of audio books.
17 April 2020
During Lockdown I’m trying to vary what I listen to, so that news stories are interspersed with more light-hearted listening. Thankfully my local Wiltshire library service enables me to download magazines, e-books and audiobooks for free. While the choice is more limited than the ‘real world’ library there are some great titles available. Recently I was torn between checking out the audio version of Hilary Mantel’s latest novel The Mirror and the Light or Philip Pullman’s The Secret Commonwealth, narrated by Michael Sheen. Being a big fan of His Dark Materials series I chose the latter and have really enjoyed catching up with Lyra’s latest adventures, without having to step outside!
