Gwinnett County Public Library Offers eAudio books
LAWRENCEVILLE, GA (Mar. 21) - Gwinnett County Public Library now offers
downloadable audio-books. From the convenience of a customer's home or
office eAudio books can be downloaded to a PC, burned to a CD or transferred
to a portable audio device. Customers can choose from over 500 titles of
eAudio books, with the list growing each day. Titles include both
non-fiction and fiction and include authors such as Nora Roberts, Mike
Connelly, Robin Cook, Stephen Coontz, Anne McCafferty, Dave Barry, Zig
Ziglar, etc. Genre selections include mystery, science fiction, romance,
biographies and more.
eAudio books are available on the library's homepage but may only be
"checked out" from a home or office PC. A book is checked out to a
customer's library card and downloaded to a MP3 player or PC. The book is
checked out for 3 weeks. At the end of three weeks the book is "returned" to
the library electronically. There is no need to return the book and no
overdue fees are charged.
eAudio books may be burned to CDs. There is no need for a customer to
worry about copyright laws. Overdrive, the vendor for eAudio books, has
negotiated rights for hundreds of titles. Gwinnett County Public Library
joins over 500 libraries nationally that offer eAudio books. The eAudio book
service also meets the needs of commuters, travelers, and beginning or
visually impaired readers. The over 500 hundred books have been selected by
the Gwinnett County Public Library. There is no processing, no handling, no
shelving, and no lost or late materials fees.
Customers can download a book using a few easy steps outlined on the
library's web page. They install and activate software, browse and check out
a title, download the book, listen and enjoy.
