For those who work in the field most of the day, a radio can get really boring when you\u2019re listening to the same old commercials. Listen to an audio book instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Now, if you have a smart phone or tablet, it is a simple task to download an audio mp3 and listen to it. Another option is to\u00a0download an mp3 to your PC using the <a href=\"https:\/\/app.overdrive.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">OverDrive App<\/a> and then transfer it to an mp3 player.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Finally, if you don\u2019t have any of the above devices, there is still a relatively cheap solution. Go to Ebay or Amazon \u00a0and search for a \u201ccar mp3 wireless \u00a0FM transmitter\u201d These can be purchased for as little as $3.23. To use this device, download the audio book to any flash drive. Then when you plug the flash drive into the transmitter, the audio will come through your car&#8217;s FM radio speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">This may all sound a little confusing, but feel free to come to the Sargent library anytime, and I will help you sign up for <a href=\"http:\/\/nebraska.lib.overdrive.com\/3710D7CF-2009-46E0-B5BC-5901582F4F14\/10\/50\/en\/Default.htm\" target=\"_blank\">OverDrive<\/a> and answer any questions you may have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nebraska.lib.overdrive.com\/3710D7CF-2009-46E0-B5BC-5901582F4F14\/10\/50\/en\/Default.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1411\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1411 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/sargent\/files\/2016\/04\/Capture.jpg\" alt=\"Nebraska OverDrive Libraries\" width=\"755\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/sargent\/files\/2016\/04\/Capture.jpg 755w, http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/sargent\/files\/2016\/04\/Capture-300x249.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people may not be aware that the Sargent library offers audio books.\u00a0 We have 72 books on CD that you can check out.\u00a0 However, since we subscribe to Nebraska Overdrive, we also have a selection of over 8000 audio <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/sargent\/2016\/04\/13\/check-out-our-audio-books\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">  Check Out Our Audio Books<\/span><span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-library-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5uT5W-mI","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/sargent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/sargent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/sargent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/sargent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/70"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/sargent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1408"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/sargent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1408\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1414,"href":"http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/sargent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1408\/revisions\/1414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/sargent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/sargent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/sargent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
