Audio books

Does anyone know where I can get audio books where I don’t have to pay a subscription, just want to be able to buy them as and when I want them, but all the sites I have looked at you have to have a subscription. I want to try this as a way to relax me and help me get to sleep.

Thanks x🌈

Does your local library have any audio books?

Our local library does downloadable audio books. These are "borrowed" and have to be returned. I think they may self delete otherwise.

I know our library does downloadable books. I wasn't sure if that was everywhere or just here because our library is small, though curiously it also doubles up as the registrar office!!

I have tried the library, they do do online books, I hadn’t even thought of there - lol. However I need to sign up with them which isn’t a problem as they will give you a temporary passcode and login, until I can sign in properly with them. However, it is saying I’m already registered with them , but I’m not, so still got to wait for someone to contact me. Thanks for the tip though. Think this will probably be the easiest option once I do manage to log in with them.

Can you ring your local council? Most people are working remotely & checking your account would be quite a simple thing to do.

Alternatively, can you not set up an account in the name of another member of your household?

I will try calling them Monday, but yes another excellent idea. Will set up an account with my husband. Thank you. X
