Announcement Regarding “The Bell in the Lake” in Audiobook Format

We are thrilled by the interest in this year’s One Book, One Community selected title, The Bell in the Lake by Lars Mytting, and we are looking forward to welcoming the author next Monday for an Author Visit.

We are aware that there is frustration around the lack of availability of an audiobook version and a large print version of this title for library patrons.

Area librarians have been working throughout the summer to secure the audiobook version of The Bell in the Lake for our collections. Unfortunately, due to publishing and licensing restrictions, we are unable to provide an audiobook version of The Bell in the Lake at this time.

While local libraries prefer to offer access to the selected title in the collection, the book is available for purchase in audiobook format via Libro FM and Audible and in print at local booksellers.
