iPod users have more options for accessing free digital audiobooks through the Sacramento Public Library's downloadable collection, library officials report.

Previously, the majority of the library's downloadable titles were available only to non-iPod MP3 players, according to a library news release.

"With the recent acquisition of the MyiLibrary download digital audiobooks service, coupled with the OverDrive download service, library customers can access a huge number of downloadable audiobooks in the library's online catalog collection for their iPods and other MP3 players," said Carolyn Rokke, library materials manager.

To access to the online download titles, go to and click on "Download Books, Music, and Videos."

Customers can choose either the MyiLibrary or OverDrive download systems to find the titles they wish to hear.

Users then enter their Sacramento Public Library card number and personal identification number, and can then choose the number of days (21 days maximum) the audiobook is stored on their iPod, MP3 player or computer.

For details, call the Sacramento Public Library at (916) 264-2920 or go to .
