After my previous library cancelled their subscription to RB Digital, I searched for a new audiobook app to replace it. Thanks to the library here in Putnam County, Tennessee, I was able to get a free subscription to Tennessee R.E.A.D.S., (AKA Regional E-book and Audiobook Download System) which has an app called Libby that allows library patrons to check out e-books and audiobooks. This service is not limited to Tennessee book lovers either. Check to see which reading apps are available from your local library.

The books available on Libby can be borrowed for two weeks at a time. I believe there’s a limit to how many books you can borrow at once, and I think it’s a pretty high number, something like 15-20. I also subscribe to Audible, which costs me about $25 monthly for two books plus discounts on thousands of others. However, I usually check Libby and Hoopla to see which books I can borrow for free before I buy an Audible.com book. This allows me to support my book habit without putting a strain on my finances.

Happy reading!
