Audiobook groups

Starting your own audiobook group

Book groups are a powerful way of bringing people together, fostering community and a love of reading. We can help you get your audiobook group off the ground, so those who struggle with the printed word can get involved.

We'll provide you with digital copies of an audiobook, so everyone can read the same title at the same time. This system works on a yearly subscription fee.

The subscription includes:

  • Borrowing up to 20 copies of an audiobook, up to twelve times a year.

  • Access to audiobooks via streaming, download, or USB sticks.

  • Access to a specially collated list of titles, with the option to request titles from our wider collection of more than 20,000 audiobooks.

  • Book recommendations and assistance in managing book request lists.

Subscription costs £18 per person per year (including VAT).

We want you to feel confident with the service and to help you get started, so we're offering a free three-month trial period. After the free trial period, we will invoice you for the next year.
