Because of you, we raised over $55,000 in support of public libraries during National Library Week 💓 (At least one of our team members cried seeing that number. Okay, fine, it was me.)

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who donated, shared, or showed support for their library in other ways.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?

It's literally called Library Extension.

Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!

Do not mess with librarians. They let complete strangers borrow their books. For a living. Even the hardcovers. They are so much stronger than you know.
