It's Not Your Mother's Library--eAudiobooks

Did you know the library offers downloadable eAudiobooks…and it is free!

Now you can create your free login to NetLibrary and begin dowloading eAudiobooks from your local library OR from your home. Stop in at the Library and sign up now. Audiobooks can be downloaded to your PC in two sizes. The smaller size is recommended for those with slower connections. You can then listen on your PC or download to an mp3 player. You will need Media Player 9 for Windows or later, Musicmatch Jukebox 8.2 or later or Nullsoft Winamp 5 to download.

Download times for an average 9 hour audiobook range from about an hour for a radio quality audiobook on a 56K modem to about 10 minutes for CD quality on a high-speed cable modem. (Info on DSL, How Cable Modems work)

Audiobook files work with some portable music players, portable media centers, pocket PCs, mp3 players, and many smartphones. Audiobooks are not divided into chapters. There are 3 ways to "save your place" when listening is interrupted:

use the bookmark feature (on some higher-end mp3 players)
use the off/on resume feature on many mp3 players
note the elapsed minute on your mp3 screen and fast-forward to that point when you resume you listening.

Your audiobook will work for 3 weeks and then stop working unless it is renewed online.
You can have access to 10 audiobooks at a time.
You CANNOT burn audiobooks to a CD.
There is a wide selection of current, popular, and classic titles.
