Library patrons have long appreciated the flexibility of eAudio books and their popularity just keeps growing.

The Bellingen Shire Council’s Clarence Regional Library recently set a national record for online eAudio lending.

Statistics released by eAudio suppliers reveals the library recorded 181 talking books downloads for the month of June – the most checkouts of any other library in Australia.

This service has been a great success with over 45,000 downloads since its inception in 2010.
