Do Westfield residents know anyone who has a condition making it difficult to read or hold a book? Read on ....
Listening Books is a UK charity providing an audiobook lending service for people of all ages who find that their illness, mental health condition, disability or learning difficulty (such as ADHD, anxiety, visual impairments, or dementia, for example) affects their ability to read or hold a book. Members of the service can listen to our audiobooks online via our website or the Libby app.
We have over 10,000 professionally-recorded audiobooks in our collection for all ages and interests which listeners can stream and download online. This includes hundreds of fiction and non-fiction books, newspapers, and magazines in a variety of languages, as well as children’s and educational titles. We also run a virtual Book Club for our members on Facebook which is a great resource for combating isolation!
Listening Books currently (September 2024) has funding which allows them to offer completely FREE Listening Books Memberships for anyone in East Sussex who is eligible for the service but who would find our usual membership fees (£20 a year) a barrier to joining.
