Delco libraries offer downloads of audio books

Delaware County library patrons will be able to directly download audio books using an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, officials announced Friday.

About 300 titles, both adult and children's books, are available for a 14-day checkout period. Users first need to download free Overdrive software available at the Apple App Store. After the software is installed, users then need to visit the online site www.delcolibraries.org and click on "download audiobooks."

A library card from one of the 26 libraries is needed. A search site for audiobooks has been added to the Web site. For additional information, call 610-891-8622. - Mari A. Schaefer
