Lawrenceville, NJ (PRWEB) January 17, 2005

Simply Audiobooks, the largest online audio book rental company in the United States and Canada, today announced it has donated $10,000 in books on tape and CD to Assemblyman Bill BaroniÂ’s efforts to support U. S. troops abroad.

Simply Audiobooks CEO, Sean Neville, personally presented the donation to Assemblyman Baroni and the New Jersey National Guard at the Lawrenceville National Guard Armory. “We are pleased to support the men and women of the New Jersey National Guard who are serving abroad," said Neville. "Listening to audio books will not only provide them with an opportunity to relax and decompress, it will also help ease the time spent away from home.”

Major General Glenn Rieth, Adjudant General of the New Jersey National Guard, graciously accepted the donation. "On behalf of all the citizen-soldiers of the Garden State, and especially those who will have the opportunity to enjoy this very generous and thoughtful demonstration of support, I thank Simply Audiobooks & Assemblyman Baroni for this particular donation. It will be greatly appreciated by the men and women of the New Jersey National Guard and their families."

An advocate of literacy and improved education and a dedicated supporter of the men and women in the U. S. armed services, Assemblyman Bill Baroni was pleased with the Simply Audiobooks donation. “Thousands of troops are stationed overseas, thousands of miles away from friends and loved ones, serving our country,” said Baroni. “Now more than ever, we must show our gratitude for our troops and let them know how much we appreciate them. This donation from Simply Audiobooks is extraordinarily generous and I am certain it is one our troops will enjoy." 

Simply Audiobooks currently provides its U. S. Armed Forces customers with CD audio book rentals through the APO address system. Based on feedback received from these customers, the company recognized a wider need for audio book content within the Armed Forces community and decided to lend a hand. “We have a mandate to give back to the communities we serve and this is one way we can do just that,” said Neville. “This donation is the first of many philanthropic initiatives for Simply Audiobooks this year.”
