Netlibrary, the current downloadable audiobook vendor for the Southern Adirondack Library System, will end at midnight of February 28, 2009. The link has been removed from the Pember Library’s website so if you click on “eAudiobooks” nothing will happen.
Why is this being done? It was decided at the SALS directors’ meeting to try a different vendor for the downloadable product. The new vendor is Overdrive.
Because this is a new product for our system and libraries, there are technical, training and selection steps that must be taken in order to have the product working for our public. This means there will be a lag in service between the end of Netlibrary and the start of Overdrive.
We hope to have information available soon on how to access and use Overdrive. In the meantime, be sure to check out our collection of audiobooks on cassette and cd. They are located in the aisle behind the circulation desk.
