DeKalb Library Patrons Check Out Audiobooks, Kiss Late Fees Goodbye
May 24, 2010
Source: Community Partnership Update/June 2010
 DeKalb Public Library is making it easier than ever to access bestselling books in high demand. The library's new service, OverDrive, affords patrons the opportunity to check out new releases and popular titles 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year as downloadable audiobooks. All that is required is a library card and internet access.
The DeKalb Public Library already has an initial collection of over 300 audiobook titles from which to choose. Selections include titles such as "Superfreakonomics" by Steven Levitt, "Impact" by Douglas Preston and books from the "Twilight" saga series by Stephanie Meyer.
Current patrons can check out two titles at once and can choose the length of their checkout time from a range of one to three weeks. The downloads automatically expire at the end of the checkout period, so patrons don't have to worry about lost items or late fees. Patrons can also place requests for books already checked out.
For details, visit the library's website at www.dekalblibrary.org and select OverDrive under the eLibrary tab.
