How Buying an Audiobook Supports Our Indie 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. 

Frequently Asked Questions
