Picture Book is proud to partner with Libro.fm to provide digital audiobooks to our community! You can feel good about buying your audiobooks through Libro.fm since they support local bookstores and invest in your local community. We offer over 100,000 audiobooks via the Libro.fm premium platform which they built with love from scratch. Proceeds from audiobooks purchased through Libro.fm are shared with your local bookstore. Your community sees 25% more money when you shop locally rather than at a national chain. More of your tax dollars are also reinvested into your community.
The 24th Annual Audie Awards were held earlier this month and you can follow the links below to purchase the winning audiobooks:
