How 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.
