Star Trek Audiobooks Available from Hoopla; Edge Mobile Class Provides Safety Tips for Digital World
Star Trek fans will be thrilled to know this, in Star Trek’s 50th anniversary year: You can relive the action of the Enterprise’s original missions through more than 50 Star Trek audiobooks narrated by William Shatner, George Takei, Leonard Nimoy and more.
The audiobooks are the newest additions to Hoopla, the online library lending service you can use with your library card. Take it back to the beginning! George Takei and Leonard Nimoy narrate as James T. Kirk embarks on the Enterprise’s very first mission in “Enterprise, the First Adventure.” Or hear “Captain’s Glory” when, with the civil war on Romulus averted, Captain Kirk is finally free to seek out the truth behind the death of his oldest and closest friend.
