Free eBooks and Audiobooks


Do you listen to audiobooks while you cook? Maybe your commute to work is long and audiobooks make the trip more enjoyable. Are those eBook downloads costing too much? We have good news!




South Brunswick Public Library can provide you with free audiobooks and eBooks. Just visit the library’s web page, www.sbpl.info. Click on the ‘Download Audiobooks . eBooks’ button marked Overdrive.



Here you can read our hints for downloading or take the tutorial for searching ListenNJ powered by Overdrive. You will also learn to select Libraries of Middlesex when you are asked the name of your library. Have your library card number and PIN ready.



Next, click on the ‘Click Here To Download’ link at the top of this page. You will arrive at the ListenNJ Digital Download Site powered by Overdrive. The first time you visit please click on the links under ‘Software Downloads’.



Desktop computers, both Windows and Mac, will need to download Overdrive Media Console for audiobooks and Adobe Digital Editions for eBooks. Adobe will require an free Adobe Digital ID.



Nook users need to download books to a desktop computer first and then drag them to the Nook.



Android, BlackBerry, iPhone/iPad, or Windows Phone 7 can download the Overdrive Media Console software directly to their moble device to download both audiobooks and eBooks. After you have installed the software and downloaded your book it will open in your Overdrive Media Console software.



Please visit the library Information Desk or call 732-329-4000 x 7286 for help with any of this. Enjoy the books!
