Dear Nelson,
Thank you for your comments. Our library and the other members of the XXXXXXXXXX Regional Library system are aware of the popularity of digital ebooks. Unfortunately, in today's economic climate the public libraries do not have the level of funding to offer these resources to the public. Perhaps in the next fiscal year (beginning July 2010) we will have funds to do so, and to offer access (once again) to also popular downloadable audio books.
Thank you again for your interest.

That is a bunch of hooey. The audiobooks cost more then the eBooks and if you look in the catalog, you will find a lot of audiobooks on CD in their collection. They should stop the downloadable audiobooks in favor of eBooks.
