We now offers digital audio book downloads! ListenNJNW.com – our new online service -- allows you to check out and download digital audio books anytime, anywhere.

Digital audio books are downloadable versions of audio books, similar to what you might find in cassette or CD format. These digital books can be downloaded to your computer and used offline. Some can be transferred to compatible MP3 players, or even burned to CD for use in the car or with any standard CD player.

Just install the free software from our website, then browse our collection of fiction, mystery, romance, nonfiction, bestsellers, and more. A valid library card is required to check out titles. When you’re ready, you can download the audio books directly to your computer, transfer them to your compatible MP3 player, or burn some titles to CD. When the lending period is over your digital books are automatically returned, so there are never late fees or trips to the library.
