Who else likes to listen to books? I love audiobooks. Not only do I listen while driving, but love to listen when I'm out for a walk, doing chores around the house, or even while working on puzzles.  One of my favorite books to listen to was The Hate You Give, by Angie Thomas. The actors who did the narration were fantastic.  

You can find audiobooks you can borrow and download to a phone, tablet or computer at owwl.overdrive.com, or use the Libby app.

Let us know what you like to listen to!
