Who will find the Golden Ticket? π« This Bookstore Day (April 25), we're partnering with indie bookshops across the US and Canada to giveaway Golden Tickets worth 12 audiobooks each.
Why? Because we love indie bookshops and they need our support!
As coined by our good friend Cory Doctorow, enshittification is when online platforms decrease in quality because they've chosen to prioritize profits. Here's his book on it: libro.fm/audiobooks/9...
Just a reminder that we work especially hard to ensure our apps are accessible and enjoyable. We take your support and feedback seriously, and want you to have the best audiobook experience possible.
Enshittification is real, and we're not about that.
Today is the inaugural Black Bookstore Day! We partner with over 300 Black-owned bookshops across the globe, and todayβand every dayβis a great time to show them love π

What if we told you that there's an audiobook platform out there powered by bookseller recommendations instead of blah algorithms π
Raise your hand if you want to read audiobooks from a company that
1) supports your indie bookstore
2) offers them DRM-free (you get the actual files)
3) is a certified b corp and employee owned
4) doesn't take away your credits (they don't expire)
P.S. It's never too late to become a reader π
Is Audible itself an April Fools prank? Their audiobooks have DRM, credits expire, and the money just goes to...billionaires? Hmm.

Psst - don't forget that you can take 40% off audiobooks in our playlist featuring stories by trans, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary authors with code TRR26 π Ends tomorrow! Link to the playlist β¬
Yep, we're international and work with many great bookshops in Australia :)
WOAH this is amazing, proud of you!
2. We offer memberships, but you can also buy audiobooks Γ la carte (tip: check out our sale section)
3. Our audiobooks are DRM-freeβyou actually own them. Which in a world of book bans and subscriptions...is increasingly important
Hi! We're an alternative to Amazon's Audible, & here are a few things that people often don't know about us:
1. We have over 600k audiobooks in our catalog! You'll pretty much find whatever you want to read, other than Audible exclusives (but that's on them, not us)
Today is a great day because we can officially say that INDIE BOOKSTORE DAY IS ONE MONTH AWAY π
Mark your calendars for April 25, prepare your TBRs, and get ready to show your indies all the love they deserve!
Did you know that you can preorder books through your indie bookstore? It's a great way to support both the author and the shop!
And when you preorder audiobooks on Libro, they'll appear in your app immediately on release day π
Just so we're all on the same page, championing independent bookshops is at the core of all our work, and we're grateful for all of you who have chosen to join us on the journey π
(A company with actual values? In 2026? Woah.)
"WhAT wAs LiFe lIKe iN tHe 90s?!"
Well, we grabbed books from our local indie bookshop instead of from a certain online mega-retailer. Let's bring that energy back.
Read books! Buy them from your indie bookshop! Support your public library! Divest from Amazon! Attend a local bookish event! Fight book bans! Talk about your favorite books! Help young readers access books! Think critically! Thank a bookseller and librarian!
Unlike some certain mega corporations...we think that when you buy something, you should own it πΊ That's why our audiobooks are proudly DRM-free; you own them, files and all. You can listen on our apps, or wherever else you want.
Need books for your Readathon TBR? From March 17-31, take 40% off audiobooks in our playlist featuring stories by trans, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary authors with code TRR26: libro.fm/playlists/tr...
Today is the start of the Trans Rights Readathon π³οΈββ§οΈ which raises money for various organizations supporting the trans community and encourages folks to read and amplify books by trans authors! (1/2)
The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. If you are represented by one of the members of this committee listed below, they need to hear from you. Rep. Kevin Kiley, California (CA-3) (Chair) - entering vulnerable election cycle; Rep. Mary E. Miller, Illinois (Vice Chair); Rep. Glenn "GT" Thompson, Pennsylvania; Rep. Burgess Owens, Utah; Rep. Michael A. Rulli, Ohio; Rep. James C. Moylan, Guam - entering vulnerable election cycle; Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, Pennsylvania - entering vulnerable election cycle; Rep. Mark Harris, North Carolina; Rep.

Wilson, Florida; Rep. Alma S. Adams, North Carolina; Rep. Adelita Grijalva, AZ
It's looking like the national book ban HR 7661 could get out of committee. The next action around it is on Tuesday, so there's still time. If your Rep is listed below, call them today! Then get two members of your community (neighbor, family friend) to call them too!
Not to toot our own horn, but...
In the past year, we've shared profits with 4,000+ indie bookshops across the globe, became a Certified B Corp, raised $130k in support of public libraries, organized 500+ Banned Books Week Read-Ins, helped fundraise for bookish orgs, and added a corgi app icon.
Reading is for everyone, and audiobooks help make that possible π
