NPR and Audiobooks

Anyone else cheered but disappointed to hear Lynn Neary's story this morning for audiobooks?

The library is mentioned--but only as a place for printed materials! So I thought the loyal, public-access-minded listeners of NPR would also appreciate know that Downloadable Audiobooks are soon to be available in their public library. And I fired off a message to the NPR ombudsman.

Feel free to send in your comments, as well. I'm sure it was an oversight--but to me it's vital to keep the library (and by extension, the library's Web services) positioned in the general public's mind as technology-hub/community gathering place/hip-with-the-times/movin' and shakin' space.
