Using OverDrive
Before you can transfer borrowed audiobooks to an iPod on a Windows computer, you need to turn on the "Manually manage music" option in iTunes. If you have an iPod shuffle, you'll need to enable disk use in iTunes instead. Note: Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed before trying these steps. Now you can transfer audiobooks to your iPod using OverDrive for Windows desktop. Note: If you disable the "Manually manage music" setting and then sync your device with iTunes, you may lose any items you've manually transferred.
