Listening Books - the UK audiobook lending service

Listening Books is a UK charity providing an audiobook lending service to children and adults who cannot access print books due to an illness, disability, learning or mental health condition.

Listening Books is a national UK charity, providing an audiobook lending service for those that find that an illness, disability, learning or mental health condition impacts on their ability to read or hold a book.

Members can choose to borrow titles to download to a portable device, such as an Android device or iPhone, using the Libby app, or to stream them through the Listening Books website. 

We have over 10,000 titles available for members to borrow, 4500 of which are suitable for children and young adults. We add new titles to the catalogue throughout the year and also record educational titles that support the National Curriculum and which are unavailable elsewhere in the audio format.

Added to that, members can enjoy extra content with their membership, such as The Listening Books Podcast, author interviews and competitions, as well as access thousands of newspapers and magazines in audio at no additional cost.
