Download Audio Books at the Library

Now you can download audio books on computers in the library. Liverpool Public Library is the first library in the area to offer the OverDrive Download Station on seven of our public computers. Instead of downloading the books at home, you can use the library's computers and fast Internet connection. The Download Station automatically tests your mp3 player for compatibility (iPods are not compatible at this time due to digital media licensing issues). If the player is compatible, you can download audio books or music and transfer them directly to your player. You'll need a valid library card to reserve a computer. Remember to bring your player's USB cable.

Hear! Hear! Downloadable Audio Books

On Saturday, February 3 at 2:00 p.m. Daveman will be doing a free demonstration of the new downloadable audio books service at Liverpool Public Library. Libraries in Onondaga County now offer free audio books and music that can be downloaded directly to a home computer or to an mp3 player. Participants will learn how to search the digital catalog, download the books or music, then transfer them to a portable media player. This is an informational presentation. You don't need to bring your computer or mp3 player. Please register so I'll know how many handouts I'll need. You can sign up using the Events Calendar on the library web site. We'll be meeting in the Sargent Room.
