Our local library system is one of many that offers a specific number of free music downloads per week. Earlier today when I was downloading some songs, I was curious about their audiobooks available for downloads. Choices are limited, with most being a compilation of old radio shows and such. There are a few books, so when I clicked on "The Jungle Book" I was very pleased to hear LibriVox's Phil Chenevert reading the book. :) :thumbs:

A further search shows they have quite a few LibriVox books available through the library Freegal sites. On the library's Freegal page Click on "Advanced Search" next to the "Search" bar. When the new screen comes up at "Select Type" choose "Audioboks", then under "Artist" choose "Wordscape" That brings up a whole buncha LibriVox audiobooks.

From what I can tell, "Wordscape" is connected with Audible.
