How to get audiobooks from your library right from your phone or computer.


What every Audiobook junkie outghta Know!

How to get audiobooks from your library right from your phone or computer





I’ve had the OverDrive application  on my Phone and iPad for quite some time, but I really never used it because my only library card is from a small town that has a very poor selection of Audiobooks, and to be honest, I've already listened to most of their romance inventory. But as luck would have it; I was commenting about this issue  on Facebook when a fellow commenter suggested to me to get a library card from the public library of Philadelphia, so I immediately  signed up for one, I paid a $35.00 yearly fee. Now I have access to a much bigger library.
I am a visual learner, so I thought posting a collection of videos to get you started with OverDrive was the best option. I will also post useful links that will give you all the knowledge needed to start enjoying Audiobooks downloaded right from your smart phone or computer.
You will find everything you need to know about OverDrive right here:
You can also do a search for a participating library right here:
If you have the same problem I had (small town library) you could also get your own library card from the Philadelphia's public library here:

I hope you find these videos helpful, and if you have any questions or need any help, don’t hesitate to ask me at: https://www.facebook.com/HotListens

    1. I'm doing a post next about all the other apps, specially the best ones to listen to MP3s. OneClickDigital still very buggy, but they are making improvements all the time.
      I thought I needed to update this information, technology is always improving, and when I saw the help videos I had posted a few years back from OverDrive made me laugh, things are so much easier now. Yay for us!!
      Thanks for stopping by Felicia :)
