Audio books to download from Essex libraries.

You must have a valid library card for this service.

You have 21 days before your access to the book/s you've downloaded expires. (I think there's a way to extend this).

I hope this link is of use to someone out there (maybe somebody who cannot physically get to the library).
It's nice to be important.....but it's more important to be nice :)

    Please note that Audiobooks and eBooks cannot be downloaded to computers located in the library.

    LOL would defeat the whole scheme if you could

    Good post my dad has a library card and seems to like audio books. Drive me nuts they do personally.

    I have contacted the access manager in my local council's library service to ask if they have anything similar in mind. I am registered blind so it would be good for me. Maybe if more people contacted the libraries a few more maybe willing to do it.
