GREATER PHOENIX DIGITAL LIBRARY
There’s a new link on the library’s web
site for quicker access to the downloadable
materials from Greater Phoenix
Digital Library. Go to www.lib.az.us/braille and select the link from the menu
on the left side of the page. This takes
you directly to a login screen to enter
your user name and library card
number. If you have high speed internet
access on your computer but don’t have
a library card number yet, call the library
and we will email one to you.
Greater Phoenix Digital Library is
proud to announce the addition of
OverDrive MP3 audiobooks to the
downloadable media collection! The
OverDrive MP3 audiobook can be transferred
to your iPod®, iPhone™, and iPod
Touch as well as many MP3 players!
Additionally, in the interest of faster
turnarounds and shorter waits, the
checkout period for all formats of
downloadable audiobooks is now 14
days. All other items in the Greater
Phoenix Digital Library will continue to
have a 21 day checkout. Other items
available are ebooks (electronic text),
eflicks (films & videos), and music all
available for download at no cost to you.
The Greater Phoenix Digital Library
offers more than 50,000 items in the
multiple formats available. Titles are
usually available within days of the print
publication which gives BTBL patrons
access to lots more titles than are available
through the National Library Service.
