Hobbies and Interests

Listening Books is a registered UK charity providing an audiobook lending service for anyone whose illness, mental health condition, disability or learning difficulty makes it more challenging to read print or hold a book. The audiobook collection contains over 8,000 professionally recorded titles for all ages and interests, which members can stream via the website or download through the free Libby app.  Members can also listen to thousands of newspapers and magazines via PressReader as part of membership.

Membership costs just £20 a year, and is completely free to those eligible for the service who would find this fee a barrier to joining.
