What is a blog?
Libraries have been offering audiobooks on cassette and CD for years. Now we have the ability to offer you the same books in a digital format so that they can be downloaded to your home PC any time at your own convenience! The book then can be loaded onto any portable device supporting Windows Media Player (WMP) version 9 and above. They may also be transferred to a wide range of portable devices, including portable music players, portable media centers, Pocket PCs, and even select smartphone devices. Sorry, iPods are not compatible with this service.
There are over 1,500 titles in our collection including the Pimsleur Language Series, book club favorites, and award-winning authors for adults, teens, and children. Titles are always available and you never have to wait for a Hold or have to deal with scratched CDs, garbled cassettes, or lost cases again so sign up, download and then go jogging, take a trip, or just sit back in your chair and enjoy!
