HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- It weighs more than 80,000 pounds and Saturday it rolled into Huntington bringing with it a whole lot of curiosity.

The world's only Digital Bookmobile pulled into the Cabell County Library to help people understand the public library's download service; it allows readers to download audio books anywhere.

Lots of people stopped by this weekend to check out the truck that is full of computers and equipment meant to show how easy it is to get into the audio book world.

Jamie Kelly is with OverDrive Digital Media Services and says, "The great thing about audio books is you can download them onto your computer and they never have a late fee- they just expire off your computer when they're done-- so you never pay a late fee and you never have to return a book to the library. It's available 24/7 and all you need is a computer with Internet access and a Cabell County library card."

Bookmobile has traveled more than 18,000 miles sharing the message with hundreds of different cities.
