Listening Books - Audiobook Lending Service
Listening Books is a national UK charity that provides an online and postal audiobook lending service for anyone with an illness, learning difficulty, disability, or mental health condition, which affects their ability to read or hold books in the usual way.
Audiobooks can be a wonderful source of entertainment, comfort and relaxation for those who are missing out on the enjoyment of reading. We have over 10,000 titles in our collection, including fantastic fiction and non-fiction titles, new releases, classics and bestselling authors such: J. K. Rowling, David Walliams, Malorie Blackman, Khaled Hosseini, Agatha Christie, John le Carré and many more.
We also have set texts and study guides supporting the National Curriculum from KS1 to A Level and many of our educational titles are recorded in our professional digital studios and aren’t available anywhere else.
Members can also access over 7,000 newspapers and magazines from our partner service PressReader.
Membership starts from £20 per year, however we can offer FREE MEMBERSHIPS to individuals in Herefordshire, who would find our usual annual fees of between £20 and £45 a barrier to joining. No financial proof is required, just a self declaration that the membership fee would be a barrier to joining.
Our online audiobook collection is available every day, 24/7 to listen to. Office support is available Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.
