Audiobook Lending Service

Join via this form

An audiobook lending charity for those that find their illness, mental health, physical or learning disability affects their ability to read the printed word or hold a book.

We have over 8,000 fantastic titles for you to enjoy - from bestselling novels and autobiographies, to groundbreaking non-fiction and books to improve your wellbeing. There's something for everyone in the Listening Books collection!

Living with any illness or disability can be tough, but we're here to make sure that you always have the comfort and companionship of a good story at the push of a button.

Audiobooks can be listened to online through our website, or downloaded using the Libby app. The service is usually paid, but is free for those who would find the annual fee a barrier to joining.
