	What Is It? The Flume: NH Teen Reader's Choice Award was created in 2005 in response to a New Hampshire teens' request to have a book award geared towards high school students. This award is a state-wide venture led by a collaborative effort from school and public librarians. Each year teens nominate titles, published within the last two years, they think deserve to be recognized. Librarians then narrow the group of titles to a list of 13. Teens then vote for the winning title from the list of 13. What's The Nomination Criteria? Titles must be nominated by teens in grades 9-12, can be fiction or nonfiction books, with appeal to this age group. They must have a publication date within the last two years. If the book is part of a series, it must be able to stand alone, meaning a reader doesn't have to read the other books in the series to understand what's going on.

You will need to enter in the code 4608 directly before your barcode # with no spaces to log in to Downloadables.

Getting Started With Audiobooks

Before downloading a WMA or MP3 audiobook to your computer, you must install the free OverDrive Media Console to your PC or Mac.

When installing the software and later when downloading audiobooks, never change the default folders. When you are prompted to create new folders, always do so! Do not try to put the software or digital files in different locations.

PC users have one more step after the software installation: The Windows Media Player Security Upgrade.

Downloading Audiobooks or eBooks

Before audiobooks or eBooks can be downloaded to your PC or Mac, the appropriate software must be installed on your computer.

Audiobooks require the OverDrive Media Console and eBooks require Adobe Digital Editions.

Web browsers handle downloads differently. Here are a few broad tips:

If using Windows Explorer, expect to "save" the file. The file will be saved and opened automatically with either the OMC or ADE (or Sony Reader Library, if you use a Sony eReader).
If using Firefox, "open" the file with either the OMC or ADE (Sony eReader users, open with Reader Library).
If using Safari on a Mac, save the file. The file will typically be saved to the downloads folder. Double-click the file name to open with the appropriate software.

Generally speaking, by installing the appropriate software, you are telling your computer that the software will open and manage the corresponding audiobook or eBook files.

Never change the default download location. If you have never downloaded an audiobook before now and are asked to create new folders, always approve creating the default folders and their locations. Always.

Transferring Audiobooks

Once the audiobook has been downloaded to your PC or Mac, it can be transferred to your compatible player.

Here are some tips:

Open OMC and connect player.
iPod users will need to have a current version of iTunes installed and running on their computer. Ideally, this is the same computer typically used to transferring music and apps to the same iPod.
iPod users must make two changes within iTunes:

With the iPod connected >> Visit iTunes >> Click on iPod's name in left sidebar >> in the center part of the screen, under the iPod's description, view "Manually Manage Music and Video." >> Select this option >> Apply.
From iTunes >> (Edit) >> Preferences >> Options >> Import Settings button >> Change to "Spoken Podcast. >> Save.

If another player besides iPods is used on a PC, no additional software besides the OverDrive Media Console (OMC) is required to run.
From OMC >> Select desired title (it should be blue) >> Click "Transfer" button.
Allow the title to transfer.
WMA titles transferring to an iPod will take 3 minutes or so per part to transfer. iTunes is working in the background.
Disconnect the player when finished transferring.

Teen Read Week

2011-08-11T17:54:00.017-04:00

Teen Read Week 2011

The theme for this year’s Teen Read Week is Picture It @ your library. As part of the celebration, YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) wants to see your interpretation of a teen book title. Not your favorite character or scene. Not an abstract thematic analysis no one can figure out. The title! You can be serious or silly, but you must use creativity and you’re required to have fun.

More info on the contest can be found by clicking here. And the entry form can be found by clicking here.

Five finalists will win bookbags stuffed with teen novels from Penguin. One grand prize winner will get that e-reader! . You have from now until the end of October to enter, so click away!
To read more visit Jay's site here!

Teens' Top Ten voting is now open! Vote on your favorite books through Sept. 15 at www.ala.org/teenstopten. The winners will be announced during Teen Read Week.
