\u201cThe audiobooks were actually something that parents and teachers requested in the past so we ordered them. We didn\u2019t order a lot but we did order enough for starters,\u201d Naputi said in an interview.<\/p>\n
The audiobooks were bought using a federal grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.<\/p>\n
The library will also make available 14 new kits\u2014books that come with CDs\u2014which arrived with the audiobooks.<\/p>\n

Naputi said the audiobooks and the kits cater to children and young adult readers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great start of the New Year for us, having these books on the floor so people can come and check them out. I know it\u2019s going to be popular because patrons have requested for them,\u201d she told Saipan Tribune.<\/p>\n
Naputi added that the JKPL started buying audiobooks for younger readers but will \u201cwork our way up to the adults.\u201d<\/p>\n
