 The popularity of audiobooks is on the rise, and it’s no wonder – there are so many great things about listening to a good book. There’s the convenience, obviously: you can multitask to your heart’s content.

It’s more than just that, though. Audiobooks help those who are visually impaired experience new books, help reluctant readers stay interested, and help those with physical limitations fly through chapters without needing to hold books or turn pages.
Don’t forget to take advantage of the Audiobook Month sale, with more than 14,000 mp3 audiobooks 30-50% off during June. As always, contact your Collection Development Specialist with any questions or if you need assistance.
