Audiobooks
 

We have audiobooks in CD, MP3, and downloadable WMA & MP3 formats for many of your favorite authors. We have fiction and non-fiction titles, as well as abridged and unabridged versions. Visit our online catalog and New Materials pages to browse our collection.

 


Use the Guided Tour link to help you get started.
Don't see what you want? You can use our Request Items form to suggest downloadable audio and eBook titles.

 

We have MP3 CDs!

MP3 technology enables 12 times the sound to be put on an MP3 than can be put on a regular compact disc. An unabridged audio book that would require 24 regular CDs to record would take only 2 MP3 CDs. Just think how many audio books on MP3 you can carry with you! And the cost savings is significant, too, so the library can buy more titles!

You will need an MP3 CD player to play MP3 CDs. Players and car kits are available in stores. (Packaging should indicate MP3 compatibility.)

What do 'abridged' and 'unabridged' mean?

 Unabridged means that the audio version has been reproduced exactly as it appears in the text
 version.
 Abridged
means that some parts of the text have been left out in the audio version. Often the
 credits on the back of the audio book will tell you if it is an abridgement, but check our catalog if
 you are not sure. Look at the item's edition or notes entries to see.
