Our library charges £1 for every audiobook borrowed and the titles are limited. Downloading them from the county ibrary’s digital site is free and the choice is obviously much, much greater. All genres are well covered.As some of the others say your local library may have system to access online audio books usually through RBdigital. The librarian will help you set it up. If you have a disability & in my library you don't need to be registered disabled you can borrow audio books free of charge.
It depends on the reason for wanting audiobooks and it’s easy enough to backtrack. Jorbin hasn’t said why she/he wants them but there are many who do and of course not everyone is able to read print or even see, so for them audiobooks are a godsend. I use them when I cannot sleep at night and I also have glaucoma in one eye so the drops I have to use as well as the condition itself can sometimes make reading print for a long time a bit of a strain, especially when tired. I love audiobooks but a lot of the enjoyment or otherwise depends on the narrator.You need a fair degree of concentration for an audiobook. A physical book you can turn back the page if you drift off. Even an ebook won’t move till you tell it to, but a audio book keeps going.
