Overdrive

Free digital audiobooks! OverDrive is a new service that lets you download audiobooks to your computer and then transfer them to a WMA compatible MP3 player. Some titles can also be saved to Ipods or burned to CD’s.
You can browse through a collection of audiobooks including fiction and nonfiction for children, check them out with your library card, and download them for two weeks. After you download the audiobook, you can listed to it on your PC, or transfer it to an MP3 player. Some titles can also be burned to a CD.
