Downloading the free and easy to use OverDrive Media Console software allows you to listen to audio books in high-quality Windows Media Audio format on any Windows computer. If your PC already has Windows Media Player installed, the Console works hand-in-hand with WMP to give you added functionality to transfer your audio books to supported portable devices.

Access to Overdrive Digital Audio Books is made possible by funding from the Winnefox Library System and the Wisconsin Public Library Consortium.
