Getting Started with OneClickdigital

  • You need a valid library card from the Duluth Public Library or the Arrowhead Library System.
  • Windows users: OneClick recommends that most Windows users select to use the OneClickdigital Media Manager as their method to download audiobooks and transfer them onto their portable devices. This is a small program that is installed on your computer. It generally takes about 5-10 minutes to install, depending on internet speeds.
  • Mac users: Visit the Mac App store to download the OneClickdigital Media Player (for OS 10.6 or greater) or download the Mac Instructions for manual transfers.
  • Select, check out and download the audiobook title(s) you want. You may choose a 1 or 2 week loan period. Play them on your computer or upload them to your iPod or other MP3 player.
  • Limit: a total of 10 OneClickdigital titles at a time
  • At the end of the loan period, the title will expire and be automatically "returned" to the Library. Titles may be returned before the loan period is up.
  • Downloadable books will not appear on your Personal Account Information list of materials checked out.
