The other day, I was having a conversation with a young mother about audio books and was surprised to hear that her family pays for them through Amazon and other online forums. Did you know that your local library has FREE audio books and e-books for children, teens and tweens? Yes, of course you may have to hold popular titles ( and wait a bit for them to arrive) but the great thing about this is that you get an email when the book is available and you don't have to return them... they return themselves! Oh and did I mention... it's free!!!
A couple of things to remember:
1. You should have a library card from your local library in good standing.
2. Usually you have to download a free app like Overdrive or something similar
3. Books can take up a lot of your phone's memory, so instead of downloading them use the read in browser feature.
Have fun! Comment below if you have any questions!
