How does it work?

To access eAudiobooks, you will need a NetLibrary account and access to the Internet.

1.   Using your internet browser, go to: http://www.netlibrary.com

2.   Click on “Log In” at the top of the page, and log in

     Using the information provided to you by the Library.

3.   Find and Download an Audiobook

• Use NetLibrary’s Basic or Advanced Search Tools to browse a specific audiobook to download.  Choose CD or Radio Quality.  CD quality offers high fidelity playback for patrons with high-speed Internet access.  You must download CD quality if you plan to transfer the file to a portable media player.  Radio quality provides smaller files with shorter download times, but cannot be transferred to a portablemedia player.

• Specify how you want to download the file. Save the audiobook file on your personal computer in  a directory of your choice. Note:  NetLibrary highly recommends this choice,

        OR

• Open the audiobook file on your personal computer in a temporary directory.  It can be difficult to find audiobook files using this method.

• Acquire a License: when you play a file for the first time, you will re-connect to NetLibrary to acquire a license.  Login with your NetLibrary account information. The License will be downloaded automatically and playback will begin.  Each downloaded audiobook requires its own license.
