Did you know
your library card provides access to hundreds of popular
audiobooks that can be checked out, downloaded,
and listened to right from home at any time?
The Palm Beach
County Library Digital Media Collection is a new service that
has been developed through a partnership with OverDrive, Inc., a
leading provider of digital audiobooks.
Our Digital
Media Collection includes over 400 titles by best selling
authors such as James Patterson, Janet Evanovich, and John
Grisham; self improvement, biography, and other popular
nonfiction titles, and classic literature. Digital audiobooks
circulate for 14 days and automatically expire so there are
never any overdue notices or late fees to worry about. The
audiobooks can be listened to on your computer or transferred to
several portable devices such as MP3 players, PDAs, and smart
phones. Some titles may also be burned to CDs for use in a
standard CD player.
Using the
Digital Media Collection is simple. To start listening to the
audiobooks in our collection you will need your library card and
a personal computer with Internet access. You will also need to
download OverDrive Media Console, a small, easy to use helper
application available free of charge from our Digital Media
site. Step by step instructions for searching, downloading, and
listening to the available audiobooks are provided online.
