Downloadable Audiobooks FAQs
 

How many titles can I check out?

You may have up to 5 titles checked out at any one time.

How long can the titles be checked out?

14 days on all titles.

Can I download audiobooks if my card is blocked?

Unfortunately, no.  If you owe $3 or more in fines, you will not be able to download.

Can audiobooks be renewed?

Not at this time. I you have not finished listening to the audiobook in 14 days' time, you may check the title out again as long as no one is waiting for the title.

What happens to the content of a CD that has been burned with an audiobook?

If you have burned the title to a CD, you may be able to listen to it beyond the 14 day loan period. The copy on the CD will not expire.  Not all titles can be burned to a CD, though.

Can I download audiobooks on the library's computers?

 While you are welcome to download the books on the library's computers, we strongly recommend that you transfer them immediately to an MP3 player for listening.  Why?  The books cannot be saved  after your session on a library computer, and not all titles can be burned to a CD.  Those that can often require between 8-10 CDs which are very time consuming to burn.  If you purchase CDs from the library, they are $1 each.

Are audiobooks automatically removed from my computer after the due date?

No. Downloaded audiobooks take up space on your computer, and are not automatically removed when they are due back at the library.  Be sure to delete them regularly to save space.
