No Time to Read? Here’s How to Do it Through Your Ears for Free

I love reading ever since I graduated college. I’m a big advocate for it now as seen by my many blog posts about it (see books I read last year and my way to read my way to leadership).

I firmly believe that if you read, you’re more likely to grow personally and professionally. So far, my issue this year is that I have had a huge project at work. I’ve been putting in overtime and haven’t had much time to read, despite my love for it. That’s why I listen to audio books.

I used to avoid audio books because if I bought them, they were pretty expensive. That is, until a friend of mine told me about Libby.

Libby is an app that will allow you to login using your current library card number, then you can borrow audio books and eBooks for free! Last year alone, I listened to over 20 audio books on my way to and from work. Now that was a great way to take advantage of the opportunity cost of driving that far for work!

Libby’s a great app and I highly recommend it. Overdrive is another app that is very similar. If you want to read and learn but don’t feel like you have the time necessary for it, check out these apps. You’re missing out otherwise!
