Petition to make this a national holiday!
“Congratulations are in order for Gianna Zarley of Waimea Elementary School.
Over the summer, the second grader participated in the 2019 Summer Reading Program and she won the grand prize drawing.

“‘Audiobooks are an ideal format for busy consumers, turning your daily commute, exercise, or that rare free time into a journey to distant galaxies or worlds where dragons still roam,” Brian Sweany, director of acquisitions for recorded books at RB Media, said in a statement. “RBmedia’s long-time goal has been to grow its presence in the science fiction and fantasy markets. With Baen Books, we’ve found the perfect partner for this popular segment.’”
Is 2019 the year everyone finally realizes that audiobooks are the ish?
