Why I Love Libro.fm (and Why You Might Too)

If you’re an audiobook listener who wants their money to do a little more good, Libro.fm is hands down one of the best choices out there.

Unlike other big audiobook companies, Libro.fm partners directly with independent bookstores, so every audiobook you buy supports local businesses. You can pick your own local bookstore, or your money can go to a large fund that helps many bookstores. It’s one of the easiest ways to put your book budget right back into your local community.

Pro tip: If you’re new to Libro.fm, don’t miss out on their best sign-up deal, use the code “SWITCH” when you make your account and you’ll get three audiobooks instead of just one with your first month’s credit. It’s such an easy way to stock up on new listens right away. (They also run other deals throughout the year, so check out their social media before you sign up.)

Libro.fm also does a lot to make listening fun and rewarding. They run seasonal challenges throughout the year, like the Summer Listening Bingo happening now, where you can fill out your card and get a discount on audiobooks, or a bigger prize, just for hitting reading goals. They often host themed listening lists, curated picks from indie booksellers, and fun giveaways.

When I went to the LA Times Book Festival, they were there handing out free audiobooks and chatting with readers which I think says a lot about how much they actually care about supporting the community.

One thing I appreciate about Libro.fm is that they let you keep your credits, even if you decide to pause or cancel your membership. Unlike other audiobook services, those credits won’t expire or vanish. Plus, once you buy an audiobook, it’s yours to keep forever with no strings attached.

So if you’re an audiobook lover who wants your listening habit to do a little good, Libro.fm is such an easy switch. You’ll still get a huge catalog, keep your books forever, support indie bookstores, and get fun bonuses along the way.

Happy listening!

I do have a referral link, here it is. If you sign up through it, I could earn free audiobooks too.
