I’m sure I’m not the only knitter who enjoys to listen to a good audiobook while knitting, but those books on CD are just so expensive. So I started going to the library to borrow the books on tape and CD, but it’s not always easy to find the time to get there. Then I discovered the greatest thing ever. I can go to my local library website and download audiobooks for free! All I need is my library card number and I can download from a huge selection of audiobooks for absolutely no charge. I asked one of the librarians, and she said most public libraries in the country offer this service. This may be old news to some of you, but I just thought it was so neat I just had to share it!
I’ve done the same thing. Its certainly a nice opportunity.
I was so excited to read your posting! I love audio books, but can never justify buying one unless it’s on clearance. I immediately went to my public library’s website to check it out and it turns out they offer this service, but only for PC users!!! Argh! According to the FAQ, " Apple products do not currently support Digital Rights Management technology for libraries."
I 
my MAC, but I think for the first time ever I have PC user envy.
Have you tried Librivox? They don’t have every book, but they have a good selection. I really enjoyed listening to Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen while knitting. I just wish I could learn to read and knit at the same time!
Thank you for this thread, I just got a ipod so I could listen to audio books while walking, but to listen while knitting is a great idea.
I really want to find Dr Zhivago on audio, haven’t had any luck so far.
Never thought of the library. This forum is great!
OMG! I can’t believe I never thought of audio books while knitting. I’ve missed my books (they’re like old friends) since I’ve started knitting this winter, but I can’t seem to put the knitting down to pick up a book. The most I’ve managed are magazines. I’ll have to check out our library here. THANKS!
