Net Library eAudiobooks
Through a
generous grant from the
Friends Of The Gloucester Library we have been able to purchase a collection
of downloadable audiobooks that can be downloaded and transferred to most iPods
and to Windows Media Player devices. Features include multiple patron access, over 2,600
titles (new titles are added each month), over 800 iPod compatible titles, NetLibrary Media Center, and anytime, anywhere access.
eAudiobooks are available in Windows Media Audio
(WMA) or MP3 format. If you plan to download titles to your iPod, it is
recommended that you install NetLibrary Media Center on your computer. After
downloading to Media Center, you can then transfer the file to your iPod using
iTunes.
For more information, contact us at (804)
