Friends of the Library
We are looking for a few good “friends”. A Friends Group is a volunteer group that helps the library work on projects and
also assists with fund raising.
Anyone
in Wilmington is welcome. Questions? Call Mary Soucie at 476-2834 or email at

New Audio Book Subscription Services
Wilmington Public Library has joined ListenIllinois, a project of The
Metropolitan Library System, to provide patrons with access to thousands
of downloadable audiobooks for all ages.
Patrons can select from the most comprehensive collection of audiobooks
in the state. Many titles can be downloadable to your personal computer
and transferred to a portable listening device (PDA, MP3 player, etc.)
or burned to CDs.
Downloadable audiobooks in ListenIllinois' catalog are provided by three
different vendors: Audible.com, Recorded Books, and OverDrive. Why three
vendors/services? When combined, the three services offer over 4,000 titles.
Digital audiobooks from OverDrive and Recorded Books can be downloadable
to your personal computer and transferred to a portable listening device
or, in some cases, burned to CD. These titles are available for download
24/7. They cannot be downloaded to library computers.
Titles from Audible.com are downloaded in the Library, by Library staff,
and circulated on Library-owned MP3 players. See a Librarian or the ListenIllinois
FAQ for details on borrowing Audible.com titles.
