Audiobooks and You!
Here at Seymour’s Little Shop of Books we love stories in all shapes and sizes. We love them big and chunky, spicy and cozy, and everything in between. One thing we also love is that no matter how you like your stories, there is a way to enjoy them no matter what your style. That is why we have partnered up with LIBRO.FM for audio books.
What is Libro.fm?
Think of them as the equivalent of Audible, but instead of being a subsidiary of the “River” company, it is a company dedicated to bringing you stories in the form of audiobooks but also ensuring that your purchase goes to supporting your local independent bookstore. In this case your favorite new local book stop, Seymour’s!
Buying, subscribing, listening, all of it is the same as you would with Audible, but with a new app from Libro.fm. One HUGE!!!! advantage is that the credits you purchase remain with your account regardless if you end your membership. You do not lose the books you’ve purchased or the credits towards books that you’ve spent your hard earned money on. With Libro, what you purchase remains yours. This on top of the fact that a percentage of every penny you spend helps us here at Mount Joy’s newest little bookshop.
If you love audiobooks, want to try audiobooks, or are just curious, follow the link below and learn how you can enjoy stories anywhere that you can listen and know that you are helping independent bookstores like ours with every purchase. 😀
Buy audiobooks & support Seymour’s Little Shop of Books
Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through Seymour’s Little Shop of Books.
Ebooks For All Your Digital Reading!
Ebooks are a major part of the book reading world no matter what anyone says. They are convenient, portable, light (you can carry thousands in your pocket!), and when on sale, extremely cheap when compared to a paper version of a book.
One question people always have is how they can support their local independent bookstore if they only read ebooks. Here at Seymour’s we understand that. Reading a brand new hardcover or even a paperback sometimes is just not as feasible as an ebook that is linked right to your phone. This is where bookshop.org comes in.
Bookshop.org is an online bookstore dedicated to bringing you all the books and online store can, but with the added benefit that every single purchase supports independent bookstores everywhere. If you pick your local bookstore while shopping at bookshop.org, the proceeds from that purchase goes directly to the shop and helps your money stay right here in your community even if you are purchasing online. One of the best parts is this works with ebooks as well. Now that “River” company may sometimes feel like they are the only game in town when it comes to ebooks, but they are not. Similar to Libro.fm and audiobooks, Bookshop has an app where you can read your ebooks just like Kindle, but instead of helping send more people up into space for an afternoon trip, your purchase helps keep a little store gremlin filled with yogurts and new books to unpack. 😀
The image link above will bring you directly to Seymour’s bookshop.org site where you can shop both for books and most importantly ebooks. 😀
