Excellent news! Regarding the GGs – there is an initiative underway right now. Listen to the GGs!/Ecoutez les GG! is a project that was launched at the 2006 GG news conference to record a selection (participating publishers/authors) of the 2006 Governor General’s Literary Award winning titles. These will be available in November to the general public (Canada) as a digital download for purchase at Simply Audiobooks, and for borrowing for people with vision loss from the CNIB Library collection. Some info is available at: [ link ]
More details will be posted to CBIB’s site shortly.
