How To Get As Many Free Audio Books As You Want From Your Library

Free free free free audio books. I love audio books. But sometimes they are just a little too expensive to buy. I don’t know maybe I’m just cheaper than other people. But it’s nice to be able to listen to a book, read a book, while you’re mowing the lawn, washing the dishes, or doing other stuff. But do you want to spend 20 – 25 bucks just to have 4 or 5 hours worth of entertainment. That you will probably never listen to again. Maybe, Maybe not. So what I have found is that you can just get free audio books.

Watch the video or read the transcription:

Or get your audio / podcast going, too:

No I’m not talking about some audible sign up or any type thing like that. Your library, your local library, if you are in a big enough city has a repository already set up for you using the overdrive software and deals with the region that they work with.

Chances are if they have a website and a digital catalog you can search online then they have audio books available. It is so super easy. Once you have an account, which you may have to do in person unfortunately. But once you have an account, you can simply go to their website, search for what you want, download the overdrive program that they will have linked up there, install it, download. They do have mp3 and wavs.

And just put that on your android phone or you can download the apple version which you can load up through Itunes. And Boom you’re done. Now they do request that you delete the files after 2 weeks. And you know follow the rules but you don’t have to check anything back in. So it’s super super easy. Super free. And a great way to get super freaky with the learning. Especially on drives and things like this. Free audio books. I mean come on get your learn on.
