Language learning audiobooks available to download!

Have you ever wanted to learn a foreign language?  Whether you are travelling out of the country soon or just want  to communicate with your neighbors, our downloadable foreign language audiobooks include a wide selection of language learning programs.  Learn Hawaiian, Arabic, Italian, Spanish and many more languages at home, in your car, or on a plane.  Our foreign language study titles include beginner lessons through advanced as well as vocabulary builders. 

We also offer English language titles including Easy American Idioms, an audiobook designed to help familiarize non-English speakers with some of our more popular but extremely confusing phrases like "I'm counting on you" and "it slipped my mind."

Check them out on our "Media Downloads" page!  As always, if you can't find a title or a language that you are interested in, please send us a note!

The eFreeLibrary, our virtual branch, is constantly adding new titles and new content.  In the last month we have added many new music, video, and audiobook titles for you to enjoy at home, work, or on the road!

MUSIC: Our latest acquisitions include over 100 new music titles.  We have enriched our classical selection with more Bach, Beethoven, Rachmaninov to name only a few.  Contemporary music that was added includes musicals (“The Drowsy Chaperone” and “25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee”) and recordings by Dar Williams and Barenaked Ladies.

VIDEOS: Also exciting is the addition of over 500 new downloadable videos.   This collection is part of our “Always Available” collection, which means you will never have to put one of these videos on hold or wait to check it out.  From Imax and travel videos to music specials (Ziggy Marley, Tupac, Tanya Tucker…) and classic films, this collection contains a rich variety of entertainment for all interests.  Watch these videos on your PC or compatible video player.
