400 MP3 audiobook titles for iPods
We’ve recently added 400 MP3 audiobook titles to our Downloadable Audiobook collection. You’ll need the latest Overdrive software, but you can now download up to 10 of these 400 titles at a time. You can also place up to 5 on hold if they are currently checked out to others. Explore the collection and let us know what you think. We would have loved to have even more and more recent titles. But so far, not many authors and publishers are on board with the idea yet. But we’ll continue to add great titles as they become available in this format.

Always Available Audiobook downloads–Attention Students/Teachers!
One of the enhancements to our downloadable audiobooks service through Overdrive is the addition of 50 Always Available titles. No waiting! These titles are available to download NOW to any number of people. Many classic literature titles, like Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations and George Orwell’s 1984, are on the list. So the whole class can have access to the same audiobook at the same time.

Zune users–enjoy audiobooks for free, finally
Microsoft has recently provided a software upgrade that will now make the library’s downloadable audiobook service compatible with your Zune. You may need the upgrade to 3.0.
Go to http://www.zune.net/en-us/products/zunesoftware/download.htm for the 3.0 upgrade.
Then go to http://acpl.lib.overdrive.com/ for our free downloadable audiobooks service.

Mom wants an MP3 player
Short on ideas for Mom? Did you know Overdrive did a survey and discovered that 35% of digital audiobook listeners are 44 years old and older and 71% of listeners are female?
The library has just started offering free downloadable audiobooks. We’ve got the popular classics, new fiction, and helpful nonfiction titles. So it’s a win-win. Mom gets a cool player and free content with her ACPL library card. We are even selling MP3 players at the library that are guaranteed to work with Overdrive.
Discover it for yourself! – http://acpl.lib.overdrive.com
And if you are actually thinking ahead, Dad might want his own MP3 player too come Father’s Day!
