Speaking of libraries...

I was on the Calgary Public Library site and found the following things that you do not need a local library card to access.

Tumble Books for kids an online collection of TumbleBooks - animated, talking picture books which teach kids the joy of reading in a format they'll love.

Audio Book Cloud is an online audio book library collection of streaming audio books. No checkout necessary - just start listening.
http://www.tumblebooks.com/talkingbooks/home.asp

I am in Alberta, though not in Calgary, so I don't know if IP address makes a difference for these resources.
