Kids in the Car - Atlanta to Augusta and back (approximately three hours each way)

This selection of downloadable audiobooks is timed for the drive to and from Augusta. Because our county is a large one, and traffic is variable, these recordings range between three and a half hours to just over six hours in length. These recommendations should be screened for appropriate content if listeners may be sensitive. Downloading the Libby or Hoopla app to your favorite device will be required to access these materials for your road trip in advance. For detailed instructions on listening to audiobooks in your vehicle, see https://www.fulcolibrary.org/blogs/post/how-to-listen-to-downloadable-audiobooks-in-your-car/
