MP3 Player
The library has an MP3 player available for checkout at the Circulation Desk. The MP3 player does not have preloaded content, so you can load your own music, audiobooks, etc. However, please be aware that the library deletes all files stored on the MP3 player when it is returned; if you purchase items and load them onto the MP3 player, you MUST back them up on your own computer.
