Audio Books - for People on the Move!

This scenario may sound familiar to you: A new book comes out by your favorite author, and you can't wait to get your hands on it! However, once you buy the book or check it out from the library, you find that you just can't find the time to read it with work or life always getting in the way. There is a solution to this common problem - check out an audio book!

Instead of fighting to find time to sit down and read, you can listen to actors reading the books on your long commute, while doing the dishes, crafting a project, or working out at the gym. We have Junior, YA, and Adult audio books that you may check out, many of which are popular books (We have the Percy Jackson series and all three 50 Shades of Grey audio books at our library!). If your child is just learning to read, we also have book bags containing audio books and the matching physical book, so your child can listen to the spoken words as they read the book.

There are three different audio book formats: books on cassette tapes, for those of you with older cars or boom boxes, books on CD, which are great for the car or the kitchen, and if you have an iPad, iPhone, or an e-reader that supports an audio format, you can check out the downloadable audio books we have available through the eBook catalog, located here! And as always, if we don't have an item at our library, we can have it sent here from another Berks County Public Library for you to pick up!

We have hundreds of audio books in the Berks County Library System, and you can check out any one of them with your library card! Why not try one today?
