Downloadable audiobooksHow Overdrive Downloadable Audiobooks works:

  • You need a valid library card from the Duluth Public Library or the Arrowhead Library System.
  • Download the free Digital Media Software to the computer on which you will play the audiobooks. The software is available from the digital library website. Activate the free software (this only needs to be done once.)
  • Select, check out and download the audiobook title(s) you want. Play them on your computer or upload them to your iPod or other MP3 player. May be used with these MP3 players. Some titles may be burned to CD.
  • Limit 10 titles at a time.
  • At the end of the 2 week loan period, the title will expire and be automatically "returned" to the Library. Titles burned to CD or uploaded to your iPod/MP3 player do not expire. Titles may not be returned before the 2 week loan period is up.
  • Downloadable Audiobooks will not appear on your Personal Account Information list of materials checked out.

  • Note: If your library card number begins 22510 and you are unable to download audiobooks, check with Library Circulation staff to see that your card has been entered into the Horizon system.
