Carroll Highlights

Introducing the library’s newest online resource – Blinkist. These blinks are available in e-book or e-audio formats, so you can listen to or read quick summaries of trending books – 15 minutes or less. Why is a library offering you a service that allows you to access thousands of book summaries instead of encouraging you to check out the book?

Maybe non-fiction isn’t your genre, but you want to have at least a little knowledge about the newest and hottest titles – this is perfect for you! You will come away with the main takeaways in a fraction of the time it would take to read the unabridged version.
You want to see if this book sounds interesting before investing the time it would take to read the full book – another great way to use this resource!
You want to learn a lot of information quickly for a quiz show or Trivia Night? These blinks are perfect for getting the facts!
You enjoy learning something new and you have time that you are in the car headed to work or waiting for kids to get finished with an activity. This is a great format for you to try!
