Camden Libraries Now Offer Free Audiobook Downloads

Libraries are an under-used source of entertainment. I’ve

always been a big believer of this. Where else can you actually get something

for free that thousands pay for everyday and yet still be completely legal? It’s

a genius idea. And now, in an attempt to get even more people using their

services, Camden

libraries are now giving away free audio books.

 

            From this

week, over 550 books will be available online to Camden residents. Each audio book will be

active for three weeks and can be renewed once, but six weeks I’m sure is more

than enough time to read your basic novel. Unless of course you’re ploughing

through War and Peace. Just glancing through

the core titles shows that there’s actually quite a decent selection. And you

don’t even have to pay a penny. Then just pop it on your MP3 player, and press

play.

 

            To accommodate

for the increase in rentals, Camden

libraries will now be allowing adults to rent 50 items at once and children 30.

I remember when it used to be 6…

 

            Of course

everyone who comes under Camden

council is allowed to join the library, and if you haven’t, why not?! Just pop

over here to get details on how to sort that out! Our nearest Library is of course Heath Library just down near Hampstead Heath rail station, so you could always just pop in with ID and proof of address as well!
