Hundreds of Free Audio Books Available For 24/7 Access Via Digital Downloading

New York, NY, June 13, 2005 - On June 13, The New York Public Library will
launch a digital audio book collection allowing cardholders to download audio
books from the Internet, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. On the subway or in
the sun, users can listen to a wide range of fiction and nonfiction books on
portable devices, CD players, or via their PCs and laptops.
Listeners of all ages can choose from a selection of 700 titles in fiction,
narrative nonfiction, business, biography, self-help, and language instruction.
Available titles range from recent bestsellers such as The 9/11 Commission
Report and The Jane Austen Book Club to classics such as Emily Brontë's
Wuthering Heights and Herman Melville's Moby Dick. Users may listen to digital
audio books via computer or laptop; burn to CD for playing in the car or on
stereo; or transfer to many portable devices, including Windows Media-compatible
MP3 players. Digital audio books circulate for 21 days and are available for
free Internet downloading 24-hours a day through the Library's website,
ebooks.nypl.org.
"We are delighted to announce the availability of downloadable audio books as
part of our circulating collection," said Susan Kent, Director and Chief
Executive of The Branch Libraries. "Library users today are much more
technologically sophisticated than ever; our aim is to continue to provide our
users with free access to materials in whichever format they prefer."
Borrowing Made Easy
In order to borrow digital audio books, users will browse or search the initial
selection of 700 popular titles, ranging from romance fiction and classics to
business, technology, biography, and language instruction. For example, some
titles include The Worst Case Scenario Handbook, Pride and Prejudice, 101
Secrets of Highly Effective Speakers, Dan Barry Hits Below the Beltway, and Dr.
Phil's Get Real. Check-out is fast and easy: NYPL cardholders simply enter in
their existing card number and a 4-digit PIN. Up to ten digital audio books--or
a combined total of ten e-books and digital audio books--may be on loan at one
time. After 21 days, the materials are automatically checked in and made
available for other users. And if the requested title isn't immediately
available, users can place a hold on it and will receive email notification when
it becomes available.Write Comment (0 Comments) |
