Ever been stuck at home without a good book to read? Well, Dover Public Library cardholders may now check out and read electronic books without leaving home. As a consortia member of New Hampshire Downloadable Books, we offer both downloadable eBooks as well as downloadable audiobooks through our website.
During National Library Week, April 10 - 16, all checkouts by Dover
Public Library patrons who’ve registered for this service will be automatically entered in a special raffle to win a Nook eReader! Each time a downloadable audiobook or eBook is checked out during that week, a DPL cardholder will qualify for another entry in the raffle.
New Hampshire Downloadable Books are available via the library’s website 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All you need is a valid Dover Public Library borrower’s card, a computer, and Internet access. To get started, a user must install free software available on the site: for audiobooks, download OverDrive® Media Console™, and for eBooks, Adobe® Digital Editions. You may then browse the collection, check out electronic items with your library card, and download them to a PC, Mac®, and many mobile devices. Titles can be enjoyed immediately or transferred to a variety of devices, including iPod®, Nook ®, Sony® Reader™, and many others. Some audio titles can also be burned to CD. Titles will automatically expire and “disappear” at the end of the lending period so there are no late fees!
To get started downloading audiobooks and eBooks, visit http://library.dover.nh.gov for a link to the New Hampshire Downloadable Books service. Use the service anytime, but don’t forget to check out items between April 10th and 16th in order to enter our Nook Raffle. The Nook has been donated by the Friends of the Dover Public Library and the winner will be notified on April 18th. For more information, call the library’s Reference Desk at 516-6082.
