The importance of shopping small
When you support local bookshops through your Libro.fm audiobook purchases, you invest in your local community, safe spaces, the future of reading, critical thinking, and much more.
We’re grateful for our bookshop partners and you, our customers, who show these indies support. As we move into 2025, we need the power of community more than ever.
In 2024, we launched:
Chapter titles
We’re manually adding in missing chapter titles to audiobooks to improve your experience and make listening more accessible
Preorder visibility
You can now see all your preorders in the Libro.fm app
Visibility and audiobooks
One of our values is to amplify—and invest in—historically excluded voices.
Among last year’s work, we:
Added filters to our Bookshop Finder Map for Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA)-owned and neurodivergent-owned
Participated in the Trans Rights Readathon and fundraised for the Rainbow Book Bus to bring banned books to LGBTQIA+ readers
Donated audiobook credits to support fundraising efforts of bookshops facing financial difficulties
Thank you so much for your support!
—The Libro.fm team
