LIBRARY2GO NOW MORE IPOD®-FRIENDLY!! - June 30, 2009
A simple upgrade to the latest version of OverDrive Media Console 3.2 allows nearly all WMA Audiobooks from Library2Go to be transferred to the iPod®, iPhone™, iPod touch®, and iPod nano®, as well as the Zune® and thousands of other MP3 players, from a Windows® computer.

Users of the Baker County Library's "Leo Listens" download collection can now enjoy best-selling titles like “Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer, “The Associate” by John Grisham, and even the highly anticipated “Lost Symbol” by Dan Brown on their iPod®.

“This is a day to rejoice. We've been working with publishers and techies for years to make this compatibility possible,” said Perry Stokes, Director of the Baker County Library District.

To browse the collection of popular audiobooks for your iPod® or MP3 player, visit: Library2Go. Check out with your library card, and then download to enjoy titles on your computer, MP3 player (including Apple® devices), and burn many titles to CD. At the end of the lending period, titles will automatically expire and return to the collection. There are no late fees!

The growing collection of Mac®-friendly, iPod-compatible OverDrive MP3 Audiobooks will still be available for patrons with Apple computers.

The free and easy to use service is provided by Library Name and powered by OverDrive, Inc. To start downloading today, visit Library2Go.
