Overboard for Overdrive

Wow! The Jacksonville Public Library has a winner! The Overdrive downloadable audio books is way cool. I did, however, have a little problem finding and downloading the Overdrive program. I actually downloaded a book before I found the Overdrive program and now I have to wait the 14 days to redownload it. I was able to get another and burn it to a cd as I listen to audio books in my car instead of the radio. I am sure as time goes by the powers that purchase titles for this program will expand on this collection. I found the teen or young adult collection to be somewhat lacking when compared to the childrens and the adults. There were quite a few titles in the children's collection that could have easily been placed in the teen collection as well.

You can go to http://jpl.coj.net/res/dlmedia.html and click on "Overdrive" to see the the different collections.
