Frontier Mom Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Just wondering as I run out of selections at the library and wonder if an audio books subscription would be worth the amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica in OR Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm wondering the same thing. We're running out of items at the local library, and are branching out to others in our library district. I've also asked the library to consider purchasing specific titles (how can any library not have the Little House on the Prairie series?). :bigear: for more ideas.

mammaruss Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 At our library we are able to order audio books from about 30 other libraries--which is terrific!! It will take a LONG time for us to run out of audio books...if there is a story that we really enjoy I will go and purchase it from Barnes and Noble.

lovemyboys Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 and are branching out to others in our library district. That's what I was going to suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedClams Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 We use the library. Our local library is iffy - at best - but they have some we can download from online. You can also look into joining a larger public library for a fee per year (I think NY system has a lot of Kindle books you can download). If you live near Cracker Barrel they also have a cool rental system that's very affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikeBookBread Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Storynory.com - we subscribe via iTunes. You could put on an MP3 player or burn onto disc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 we get almost all of ours from the library, but I have a few I couldn't resist and used my educators discount for. We have a few Hank the Cowdog because our library only has a few and we've listened to them several times. I splurge on a new one every once in a while.

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Mostly from the library. We can access the county library system and the city library network, which provides access to quite a few area libraries. We can order the materials and pick them up at our branch. My sister works at Barnes & Noble, and she has bought some for us, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobela Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 There are several places to download books for free if you search for them. We have done that. We also watch for them at thrift stores and yard sales. Sometimes we are suprised and find great ones that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 We have free Inter-library Loan, thankfully, plus our town and the surrounding towns ( where we can use our cards) are well-stocked. I agree that talking a drive to the surrounding towns might be well worth-it if ILL is not available to you. I have also found audio books at some thrift shops, namely Saver's.
