and don't forget Digital Audio Books!
Free and easy to use from your home or work computer
New Hampshire Downloadable Audio Books are available to anyone with a Tuftonboro Free Library card.
Explore the growing collection of audio books and use your library card to download audio books to your computer, transfer them to an MP3 player, or burn selected titles onto a CD for listening on the go. Available 24/7, now your library is always open!
How does it work? It’s easy! First, call the library for your special library card number. Then go to http://nh.lib.overdrive.com. Install the free media software to check out and download your books. You can transfer the audio book to an MP3 player or burn some selected titles to a CD and enjoy your audio books.
The first time that you check out materials, you will be provided with instructions to download the software that you need. You will also be provided with information about compatible MP3 devices.
The loan period is seven days, and a title may be downloaded three times during that period. Up to three audio books may be checked out at any time and they will check back in automatically at the end of the loan period.
This program is intended for use from home. While patrons can browse this collection and checkout an audio book from a Library computer, they will not be able to download the book at the library.
Call 569-4256 or come in to the Tuftonboro Free Library to get your special library card number or more for information. Also you can try the new patron tutorial by clicking here.
