Divergent by Veronica Roth
Thu, 26 Apr 2012
 In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue, Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is, she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are, and where, exactly, a romance wi... [more...]

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!
