AUDIO CASSETTES

Due to several problems, the Service Center no longer carries audio cassettes. Sales have been low and it is difficult for evaluators and the Reading Program Committee to review audio cassettes. However, since some units request audio cassettes, we are listing books for the 2001 Reading Program that also have audio cassettes.

Remember, the Service Center does NOT carry audio cassettes. You will need to order them from a bookstore or from an Internet site.
