    Fascinating Fiction for
Teens and Kids

I watched this webinar from OPAL. It was about how the library chose books either in Braille or in audio to get sent to them every month so that they were able to have them available for people. It was actually pretty interesting because they only get so many books a month and they described how they broke down the percentages of fiction and non-fiction books as well as what titles they selected. The neatest part was that you could ask questions and they would stop right there and answer your question (this was a recording of a previous one). It was very interactive and that's how they wanted it to be. I think webinars are fantastic! So many people already use them and they will only continue to grow. Even  small businesses will be able to utilize webinars because they are cheaper than flying someone around the country. They are also more convenient, especially since they are interactive. I think they are here to stay!
