Digital Audiobooks

I've always thought the idea of downloading an audiobook was really cool, especially when I walked to and from school/work while studying for my MSLS. Downloadable books were available at the library system in the town where I went to school. My old MP3 player has minimal memory compared to most (512 MB), however, and could probably have held only a small part of a book at any one time, so I never tried it.

I am excited to be getting a device that might actually hold a full book.

I knew the basics of how the files work, i.e. that they deactivate after a certain period of time, but I had no idea that you could put holds on digital audiobooks just like you do "regular" library items.

Overdrive was easy to download and install.

We have a very helpful menu on the side that breaks the e-books down by genre. Plus, we seem to have quite a varity and even have some titles for children and teens. Cool! The first thing I listen to will probably be Alice in Wonderland, one of my all-time favorites.

I'm glad I've had the chance to investigate this more, so I can tell customers about it.
