I don't know who does the buying for our library system, but O M G, drives me nuts! They go overboard buying a ton of "dummies guide" and "how to" books. It might just be me, but those types of books seem to be the kind of books you want to have paper copies of, so you can easily flip to chapters that are pertinent to what you need. Our non-fiction selection having to do with self-help/how-to type literature (and travel guides) is huge, and our fiction selection doesn't seem to grow as much. The audiobook selection is the one that gets all the bestsellers. Frustrating
I don't like audiobooks. it warps the book, giving me voices for the characters.
