Author Elizabeth Berg is pitching in to help I-GO launch our new audiobook program today with Random House. We’ll be hanging out with the local luminary and best-selling author, who’ll be reading from and signing copies of her new novel, The Last Time I Saw You, from 5 to 8pm today at the Barnes & Noble at State and Jackson (in the DePaul University campus building). Join us! Pick up free swag! Get lit (in the literary sense)! And then “book” an I-GO car to check out the free audiobook samplers we’ve placed in all our cars.

In addition to I-GO, car-sharing providers in eight other cities across the country are participating in the program, including organizations in San Francisco, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Boulder, Denver, Buffalo, Ithaca, NY and Burlington, VT.
