Download Library Audiobooks at Home for Your MP3 Player

Attention MP3 owners: Did you know that you can check out audiobooks for your MP3 player from the Troy Public Library? You don't even need to come into the Library*. All you need is a Troy Public Library card.

Just go to our homepage, and click on the Downloadable Ebooks, Audiobooks and Videos link in the left hand frame. From there you can learn how to download audiobooks from two sources: NetLibrary and OverDrive. Most of these audiobooks can be listened to on your MP3 player, and many can be burned to a CD to take on a trip.

(Currently, downloadable audiobooks are only available for MP3 players. The Library will be offering iPod-compatible downloads later this Fall.)

If you're interested in learning more about downloadable audiobooks, check out this Reuters report.

*In order to use netLibrary, you will have to come into the Library once, to create an account.
