Sunnyvale Library offers access to Audio eBooks through the Northern California Digital Library (formerly called 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 Northern California 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 Digital Library 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 Northern California Digital Library site.
