Free Audiobooks

• Audible It’s Amazon’s giant audiobook one-stop-shop for everything to download. While you will have to sign up for the service and pay a monthly fee, the first month is completely free. So, if there is one audiobook you’ve been just waiting to listen to, a free month of Audible might be worth it. 

• Spotify Did you know that in addition to music you can also listen to audiobooks? Yes, it’s true. While Spotify’s collection isn’t as large as your local library’s if you’re looking to listen to the classics you might have tuned out in school, now is a perfect time to get caught up.  

• Digitalbook Digitalbook is powered by Amazon, which means it’s super easy to send things right to your Kindle. It’s full of classic stories, but has other categories too, like young adult, horror, and sci-fi.

• LibriVox. Not only does LibriVox have a ton of audiobooks for free, but you can also read an audiobook for the site, too. That’s kind of the whole idea, actually. LibriVox uses volunteer readers to narrate stories, so if you want to pay it forward, you can volunteer to do the same by bringing life to your own favorite tale. 

• Lit2Go. What sets Lit2Go away from other free audiobook sites is that it also includes a huge collection of poetry. 

• StoryNory. Just like the other sites, StoryNory has a ton of audiobooks. But they’re not so much focused on current reads, but rather fairytales, poems, music, and myths. The selection is geared more towards littler listeners, but that doesn’t mean you can’t check out the Brothers Grimm, too.
