Picture this: it's the night before a business trip or vacation when you realize you don't have any new audiobooks to listen to. No problem; you go to the Dover Public Library web page, click on Download Audiobooks, chose three titles out of the hundreds available, and download them to your computer. You can then either burn them to a CD or transfer them to an MP3 player. Sound like Science Fiction? It isn't!
In partnership with the New Hampshire State Library, the Dover Public Library is offering this new service to cardholders. We hope you will be as excited as we are by the huge variety of interesting books to listen to like Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, The 5th Horseman by James Patterson, and David Sedaris Live at Carnegie Hall. In fact, three Librarians ran out and bought MP3 players just so we could make full use of this program. Another really cool thing about downloading audiobooks; you never have to return them and there are never late fees!

I hope that none of the librarians bought iPods...
ReplyDeleteYou should also send patrons to LibriVox. Patrons can download audio files to any mp3 player (mp3 and oog formats) as the files are in the public domain. No new stuff but good for classics.
