Audiobooks To Listen To

The Basics

• Digital audiobooks check out for 7, 14, or 21 days. You can change your default checkout period.
• Users can have 10 digital audiobooks checked out at one time. Digital audiobooks can be returned early if needed.
• Users will never receive late fees—the files automatically stop working at the end of their checkout period, and/or the user can simply delete them at or before the end of the checkout period.
• Digital audiobooks can only be checked out to one person at a time. Therefore some items may be unavailable and users will need to place a hold.
• Digital audiobooks work almost exactly the same as ebooks with OverDrive. The only difference is that on a computer you will use a different software, OverDrive Media Console, to listen to audiobooks or transfer them to an MP3 player.
