An audiobook lending charity for those that find their illness, mental health, physical or learning disability affects their ability to read the printed word or hold a book.
We provide an audiobook lending service to anyone with a print disability such as arthritis, anxiety or a visual impairment.
Membership
We offer membership to adults, children, those in care homes, hospices and hospitals as well as other organisations such as schools.
Becoming a member of Listening Books is a quick and simple process. You can join online, by post or by telephone.
We offer three ways to access the audiobooks; downloading using the Libby app provided by OverDrive, streaming online through our website, or borrowing books on CD sent via Royal mail. You can find out more information about our audiobook formats here.
We also give members who choose our downloading and streaming memberships access to thousands of newspapers and magazines through our partner service, PressReader.
