Downloading

• How To Do It
1. On the library homepage you will see this image
   or a link which says Search Downloadable Audiobooks. Click on it, then type in your library barcode number to be authenticated. Click login or submit. You will then proceed to NetLibrary.
• First time users, see Creating a Free NetLibrary Account.
• Return users, 'Log In' with your NetLibrary user name and password.
2. In NetLibrary, search and download the title you want. (Save the audiobook file on your computer in a directory where you can find it easily.)
3. When download is complete, 'Open' in Windows Media Player. The audiobook will begin to play.
   Note: You MUST open the audiobook file before disconnecting your Internet connection in order to acquire a license to play the audiobook. You will see a acquiring license in the lower left hand corner, until the process is complete. Do not stop the audiobook from playing until you have finished acquiring the license.
4. Listen to the audiobook from your computer through Windows Media Player or use Windows Media Player to move it to your portable device.

• Can I burn an audiobook to a CD?
  • NetLibrary cannot stop you from burning the audiobook file to a CD, but encryptions on the Audiobook file will make it unusable.
• What if my download does not complete successfully?
• Why doesn't the audiobook download, even though I get an acquiring license message?
• I can't find "Author" or "Book Title" mentioned in my Media Player? How do I find, play, and transfer my audiobook file?
