MARYSVILLE – Frustrated that you don’t have time to read at home because you spend so much time in your car?
The solution to your reading frustration is a Web site visit away.
The Sno-Isle Libraries now offers access to downloadable digital audio books from its Web site at www.sno-isle.org.
Downloadable digital audio books may be “checked out” through the Sno-Isle Libraries Web site from a link under “News,” “Readers’ Resources,” or the library catalog.
Library customers search the catalogs of the audio e-book vendors – similar to checking out traditional books. Digital downloadable audio books can be downloaded to a PC, a Windows-compatible portable listening device, and, in some cases, burned onto a CD.
Audio e-books check out for 21 days.
The downloadable book services aren’t compatible with Apple products, such as Macintosh computers or iPods.
Through the two audio book services, customers have access to more than 50,000 titles. In addition to popular titles, the services offer language instruction audios and current nonfiction. Both services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The Sno-Isle Libraries serves more than 600,000 residents in Snohomish and Island counties. Sno-Isle has community libraries in Arlington, Brier, Clinton, Coupeville, Darrington, Edmonds, Freeland, Granite Falls, Lake Stevens, Langley, Lynnwood, Marysville, Mill Creek, Monroe, Mountlake Terrace, Mukilteo, Oak Harbor, Snohomish, Stanwood and Sultan, as well as mobile services for the homebound and local day-care centers.
