With podcasts available on just about any subject you can think of, now everyone, even vision impaired or people with no time to read, have access to enormous amounts of information at the push of a button - and make sure you have your sound turned on!
Podcasts (audio feeds of just about anything - books, lectures, news, shows, music) have been around for sometime now but with the amount of wireless personal devices now able to connect to the internet (such as iphones etc) it is becoming a much more commonly used source of information and entertainment.
I can definitley see ways that we can utilise podcasts in the library, such as lessons and book readings, but to truly make it beneficial it would need to be something that you could possibly only get in the library and have a high interest/entertainment appeal to your potential library users.
Denver library have a fantastic selection of childrens book podcasts that could be a lot of fun to broadcast as you present the book! check them out below:
