Downloadable audiobooks are now available for library patrons to download for free. A consortium of Georgia libraries has selected a custom collection of audiobooks for our patrons. This service, "Georgia Download Destination," is hosted by OverDrive. OverDrive Audiobooks can be downloaded to your PC or Mac, burned to a CD (when allowed by the publisher), or transferred to a supported portable device.
This service will be available 24 hours, seven days a week for patrons to download titles from home using their PINES library card and pin number. Patrons cannot download audiobooks at the Library. However, staff will be available to assist with questions related to this service.
This service was made possible in part by the Friends of the Athens-Clarke County Library.
