Now you can check out audiobooks from your library at your home or office! As part of the WILBOR consortium, the Anita Public Library is offering audiobooks for its patrons to download and listen.
Your library card is the “key” to downloading the audiobooks, from any computer that is connected to the Internet, at any hour of the day. From a website you can browse or search for a title you’d like to listen to, log in with your library card number, and download the title to your computer. You can then listen to the book on your computer, or transfer to an mp3 player to listen.
This is a great way to make the library’s resources available to our users 24/7/365. You don’t have to come to the library building to check out the audiobook, and you don’t have to return it. The book automatically “returns” to the collection for someone else to borrow.
WILBOR's collection has fiction and nonfiction titles, as well as books for children and teens. Bestsellers and classics, history and humor, business and self help--you'll find them all in WILBOR. Books will check out for 1 week and the file will "expire" on your computer after 1 week, but when the books are transferred to an mp3 player you can take your time listening to them. Some titles can even be burned to CDs for your own, personal use.
The Anita Public Library is one of 84 libraries in western, central, and southern Iowa that participate in WILBOR. For more information and to start downloading and listening, visit the WILBOR website at http://wilbor.lib.overdrive.com. If you don’t have a card from the Anita Public Library, visit the library and register for one.
