Downloadable Audiobooks
 The
Library's downloadable audiobook service, ListenIllinois, was discontinued at the end of April 2008.
ListenIllinois was a grant-funded
project and, unfortunately, the funding is not being extended.
While the Library searches for a service to replace
ListenIllinois, you might want to browse these sites that
provide free downloadable audiobooks.
LibriVox
Browse through the The LibriVox catalog to see over 1400 titles
including books by Louisa May Alcott, Lewis Carroll, Jane
Austen, Charles Dickens and
more.
"LibriVox's goal is to make all public domain books available as
free audio books. We are a totally volunteer, open source, free
content, public domain project."
Podiobook.com
Use the "Browse Our Titles" menu to find fiction, non-fiction,
children's, young adult titles and more. Download a chapter at a
time "on your schedule."
Project Gutenberg
Category: Audio Book (Human Read)
Like LibriVox, these are public domain titles.
Lit2Go
An online service of Florida's Educational Technology
Clearinghouse, Lit2Go is a free online collection of stories and
poems in Mp3 (audiobook) format. These, too appear to be public
domain titles.
When an replacement service is
found, the information will be available in the Library and here
on the
Library’s website. The new service will also be promoted in
the monthly
email newsletter and in the Library’s quarterly newsletter,
Library Lights.
