New OverDrive and NetLibrary features

On Tuesday, June 16, OverDrive released the new version of OverDrive® Media Console. To download the updated software, click here. All new users will automatically download the latest version, and existing users will be prompted to upgrade to the latest and greatest version of OMC (scheduled for late June).

Nearly all OverDrive® WMA Audiobooks in the download collection are now compatible with the iPod®, iPhoneT®, iPod touch®, and iPod nano®, as well as Zune® and thousands of other portable devices, with a simple upgrade of OverDrive® Media Console to version 3.2 on Windows® PCs.

NetLibrary® also has a new Media Center available for easier, faster downloads. To download the updated software, click here. Many titles available through NetLibrary® are now iPod® compatible as well. If you haven't used NetLibrary® before, you need to come to the library to create an account.

Please call (746-3663) or email (info@hopkintontownlibrary.org) us if you have any questions about our downloadable audiobooks.
