Insurgent by Veronica Roth
Tue, 10 Jul 2012Goto the online catalogueOne choice can transform you or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, 16 year old Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves and herself while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.
She has survived the simulation attack from the rebels, but not without her share of scars, both external and internal. One of the worst parts was having to kill her friend, Will. She had no choice; it was either kill him or he would kill her. But she’s having trouble convincing herself of that truth, let alone admitting it to the others. The guilt eats away at her soul as she attempts to move forward in the race for freedom.

Download Audiobooks

The Niagara Falls Public Library is expanding our services with the addition of downloadable audiobooks. This collection is powered by OverDrive, Inc., and has been brought to you by the Ontario Ministry of Culture’s $15 million investment in public libraries, through Southern Ontario Library Service (SOLS) and Ontario Library Service-North (OLS-N). Library card holders will be able to check out and download digital audiobooks from OverDrive anytime, anywhere, by visiting our webpage. Another access point is downloadcentre.library.on.ca. There are over 3,800 fiction and non-fiction titles in the collection, covering a wide range of genres including juvenile and young adult titles.

OverDrive’s download service provides direct transfer to iPod, Zune, and virtually all MP3 players, and is a popular service for libraries’ mobile and connected users. Overdrive is also accessible to visually impaired patrons, and is compatible with screen reader programs, such as JAWS for Windows and Window-Eyes.

To check out, you will need a valid library card with a PIN number, personal computer, and internet connection. You will  also need to install free software like the OverDrive Media Console, for use on a Windows operating system or Mac in order to access the titles. Once downloaded, digital titles can be enjoyed on the computer or transferred to a supported device, like an MP3 player. At the end of the 7 or 14 day lending period, titles will automatically expire –  they are automatically erased from whatever device you have them stored on and are “returned” to the collection for the next user. No late fees or damaged items ever. Be sure to try them out!
