The day-to-day library
The Listening Books library has been running since 1959
and has seen many changes since then as technology has
advanced significantly.
MP3 CDs: we have a fantastic range of titles available on
MP3 CD which are delivered to members by post straight
to their front door. This service is perfect for those
members who have not yet made the transition online and
encompasses titles sold by commercial publishers as well
as those recorded in-house by Listening Books.
Downloads: Launched in 2010, the download service has gone from strength-to-strength and already
stocks over 6000 titles. This service is fantastic for many different types of members: for those who are
housebound and cannot get to a post box to return CDs and for those who like to listen to audiobooks on a
portable device for when they are out and about.
Internet Streaming: With this service, over 1000 titles are available to stream live at any time of the day or
night by logging onto our website with a username and password. This service is great for schoolchildren
as login details can be used simultaneously, allowing a group of children to use the service at home for
help with homework or revision.
