Who is eligible for gift membership?

Listening Books is for people of all ages who find that their illness, disability, learning or mental health condition impacts on their ability to read print, hold a book or turn it's pages. 

If you are unsure whether your loved one qualifies for our service, please contact our membership team at support@listening-books.org.uk or on 020 7234 0522.

How much does membership cost?

Membership costs just £20 per year, and you can give that special someone access to our vast collection of audiobooks, available 24 hours a day. Members can download and listen to books on the go using the Libby app, or stream them online through our website.

At no additional cost, our members also receive access to thousands of newspapers and magazines from all over the world through our partner service PressReader.

What if technology is a barrier to signing up or using the service?

If you are worried that the technological side of things might be too much for your friend or relative, but you know they’d love the books, then we can help as much as they need. We are happy to talk them through setting up the app over the phone, and how to choose and borrow our books.

My daughter paid for my membership and it was the greatest present she could have given me! I never believed that I could enjoy an audiobook in the same way as traditionally reading, but Listening Books has reawakened my love for books. I’ve listened to at least 50 books in just the past 8 months and I have barely scratched the surface of the titles in my wish list. You've brought happiness back into my life!
