How to Download Audiobooks From the Library

Libraries don't just carry regular books, they also carry audiobooks that you can download and listen to for a limited time on your computer, smartphone or digital audio player. Audiobooks are more convenient than printed books since you can listen to them while doing other things such as driving, working out or cleaning house. Libraries have various ways of checking out audiobooks, but most allow library patrons to check them out online through the library Website.
