August 6, 2006
Meriden Public Library is now offering downloadable e-audio books from Recorded Books and NetLibrary. The library now offers many digital audio book titles, including bestsellers such as David McCullough's 1776 and Alexander McCall Smith's THE NO. 1 LADIES DETECTIVE AGENCY, classics such as Mark Twain's THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN and Emily Bronte's WUTHERING HEIGHTS and the award-winning Pimsleur language series.People interested in accessing the e-audio books must initially come into the library to set up a free account; assistance is available at the Information Desk.
Audio books can be downloaded to laptops, PCs and a wide range of portable players as well. Users will not be able to download books to library computers but will be able to download to a thumb drive or CD and then open them on a home computer.
Once the account is set up, the service can be accessed from any computer by going to www.Netlibrary.com or www.meridenlibrary.org 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Up to ten titles may be charged out at one time. Downloading is available without any special software, with either dial-up or high speed, to your computer or portable player.
