Audiobooks

When I was about nineteen years old, I was very busy with working two jobs and a full time student with a course load of 6 classes. I love reading, but I just did not have the time to sit and casually read at this time. I decided to borrow an audiobook from the public library and listen to it in my car while driving to school and work. It was amazing for me. I was finally able to "read" for fun without sacrificing homework time.

There are many different methods to be able to listen to audiobooks and audiobooks come in almost every genre.

There are books on CDs such as this:



There is something called a playaway. The playway is an MP3 player with a single audiobook preloaded onto it. 


There are also downloadable audiobooks available in different formats to be able to be used on different kinds of devices. The company Overdrive allows many public libraries the ability to provide this service. This screenshot of the Overdrive website shows that you can find your local library to see what's available to you and they also have app available. 


Check your local public library to see what is available to you.
