Downloadable Audiobooks

 

The eAudiobooks Are Here!  Now with iPOD compatible titles!

Over 2000 titles! See the newest titles.

You are  able to download audiobooks to your home computer (high speed internet recommended).  You can listen to the book you choose on your computer, or you can put it on your MP3 player for portable listening (some titles will play on iPods).  Access is 24/7 from the Media Center software you download and put on your desktop, or from www.netlibrary.com.  You won't have late fees since the audiobooks are returned automatically online, and you won't have to wait for a popular title since it can be simultaneously downloaded by many people.

Titles that will play on iPODs are designated as "mp3" format.  Here are a few of the authors with titles available in that format:

  • Nevada Barr
  • Lilian Jackson Braun
  • Robin Cook
  • Patricia Cornwell
  • Joann Fluke
  • Alan Furst
  • Charlain Harris
  • Carl Hiaasen
  • William Johnstone
  • Jan Karon
  • Stephen King
  • Cormac McCarthy
  • Elizabeth Peters
  • John Sandford
  • Sarah Strohmeyer
