Listening Books offer
Listening Books believes that by providing books in alternative formats (MP3, CD and internet streaming) it is able to make reading more accessible.
To show its support for the National Year of Reading, Listening Books will offer 50 free internet streaming memberships (for one year) to the first 50 people who contact them and mention the National Year of Reading. Free memberships are for schools, organisations and any individuals who suffer from an illness or disability that makes it difficult or impossible to read or hold a book, including visual, physical and learning difficulties such as dyslexia.
For more information call 020 7407 9417
Internet streaming is a way of delivering audio to your computer via the internet. Members may listen to as many books as many times as they like, on any computer, in their home, school or work place and at any time during the day. This is invaluable for those who are studying as they no longer have to wait for the audiobook to become available.
To see which titles are available to be streamed go to the website and click on the catalogue button.
