Chicago Joins New York in Offering Audio Book Downloads from Home

Report from the Chicago Tribune about the success of the new book downloading program. A month ago, the Chicago Public Library quietly added a link to its Web site and waited for the tech savvy bibliophiles.

“New! Download Audio Books,” the link promised since March 15.

That first day, 72 titles were downloaded to home computers and MP3 players from Chicago Public Library website download page.
