New! Downloadable eAudio Books
With Harris County Public Library?s new Digital Media Collection, powered by technology from Overdrive, Inc., many customers will be doing just that with the hundreds of titles currently available to them. Starting September 5 these books will be available to all Harris County Public Library customers. Many popular fiction authors ? including James Patterson, Janet Evanovich, Nora Roberts, Robert Parker are included for checkout. You?ll also have many other types of books from which to choose: fantasy, literature, mysteries, children?s books, self-improvement, health, religion, family life, business, humor & more. The audio books can be checked out, enjoyed and returned without ever even setting foot in the library. That means you can check out your book in the comfort of your own home. Getting started is easy. Just visit http://hcpl.lib.overdrive.com, install the free Overdrive Media Console software from our website and browse the collection for the titles you want. It?s a lot like shopping. Just put the items you want in your cart and when you?ve completed your ?trip to the library? you can check out using your library card. You can then download your titles to your home computer. Once downloaded, you can transfer them to a portable device (MP3) or burn selected audio books directly to CD. Currently, you can download titles from your home computer but not at the library. These items return themselves in two weeks so there is never a late fee! In addition to audio books, the HCPL Digital Media Collection includes eBooks and music. Harris County Public Library?s digital collection is open 24/7. Instructions are available on the site. |
