Overdrive Audiobooks

A great service to use. Anyone that's been in a hospital knows that the endless hours can be boring. Books go a long way to alleviate that boredom, but if your eyes aren't working that great to begin with, then audiobooks are the way to go.
When my Mom was in the hospital, and later in the nursing home, one of the many ways I kept her busy was through the audiobooks offered through Overdrive. I went out and purchased an MP3 player and then loaded it up with hours and hours of books. She was able to catch up on a lot of "reading" that she couldn't have done any other way. It helped to reduce her stress levels and kept her entertained.
I still have that MP3 player and the last books she listened to.
It makes it easier.
