Downloadable Ebooks and Audiobooks

Many of the ebooks and some of the audiobooks in our catalog are now downloadable. In the library catalog, just search for a topic or title. You can limit on the left side under Collection to Internet Resource. You can further limit by Format to either electronic book or sound recording.

For books, only more recent books are downloadable. Just click on the title that interests you, then click on the link that says "An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web". If it's downloadable, the next screen will tell you. In order to download, you will need to sign up for a free Netlibrary account.

The checkout period for the downloaded ebook is one week. You will be able to print 10 pages per day of text. Once the checkout period ends, the file will stay on your device until you delete it, but you will not be able to read the file unless you renew the book.

The downloadable audio is in MP3, can be used on IPods, and the checkout period is three weeks. Again, once the checkout period ends, the file will stay on your device until you delete it, but you will not be able to read the file unless you renew the audiobook.

We hope these downloadable resources help prepare Century for the ebook revolution!
