Audiobooks

The Library has many titles available in audio form, for adults, kids and teens, both fiction and nonfiction.

Audiobooks are available as books on tape, books on disc and sound media players (see photo at right.). Digital audiobooks may be downloaded, along with free Digital Media Software.

Sound Media Players
The sound media players are self-contained units. Each package holds the triangular player and a battery. Use your own headphones or purchase a set of earbuds from the Main Library's checkout desk staff.

Downloadable Audiobooks

Download audiobooks to your computer and MP3 player. You will need a valid library card from the Duluth Public Library or the Arrowhead Library System. How it works:

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 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 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.
