How Buying an Audiobook Supports Our Indie Bookstore
For so long, the only way you could purchase an audiobook was through massive corporations. But now, with Libro.fm, you can shop local and purchase all the titles on your To Be Listened To shelf from your favorite independent bookstore.
Libro.fm is an employee-first Social Purpose Corporation built from the ground up by people passionate about supporting indie booksellers. With over 400,000 titles to scroll through, the list of audiobooks is vast, and every purchase and membership is shared with your local store! When you start a new membership, select Novel as your bookstore and input the promo code SWITCH for two bonus credits.
