  Audio eBooks

Sunnyvale Library offers access to Audio eBooks through the Califa Digital Library.  Audio eBooks are electronic versions of popular titles commonly known as Recorded Books or Books on Tape.  Audio eBooks can be downloaded and listened to on your computer or transferred to a digital music player (MP3 player).  In some cases, depending on license agreements with individual publishers, Audio eBooks may be burned onto a blank CD.  There is also a growing collection of classical music available for free download.

Sunnyvale Library offers library card holders free access to Audio eBooks through Califa Digital Library (click link to go directly to site).  Sign in using your 14-digit Sunnyvale Library card number.  Note that this is the same Califa site that offers downloads to regular eBooks in a variety of formats, so please check the file formats carefully when browsing through titles.

The answers to the most frequently asked questions and troubleshooting issues are available at the Califa Digital Library site.  Please check the Instructions, Help, FAQs, or Troubleshooting pages for the most up-to-date information, including current system requirements and any free software you may need to download and install.  Contact a Librarian at the Reference Desk at (408) 730-7300 if you need further assistance or have other questions about Audio eBooks.  Below is some additional information about the Califa Digital Library.
