June is audiobook month, and @libro.fm is celebrating with recommended #Pride picks, a special signup offer, and more. Best of all, sales benefit indie bookstores. ❤️

So...we've been tracking your use of our web player, and guess when you’re listening the most (weekdays)...and the least (weekends)? Y’all really love to listen at work, don’t you? 😂

A thread on our response to AI 🧵 ✅ We will never knowingly prioritize, publicize, nor market AI-narrated/generated audiobooks. ✅ Recommendations on Libro are from real, live booksellers and our team, not algorithms. ✅ Our customer support team is made of real people, not bots.

Audiobook Month and Pride both take place in June 💕🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (Although, let’s be real, these months last all year long over here at Libro!) What are your favorite audiobooks by LGBTQIA+ authors for folks to read this month and beyond?

❤️❤️❤️

We're almost halfway through 2025 👀 and we're curious: how are your annual reading goals going? And remember: no matter how much you read, you are a reader ❤️

Because of booksellers and readers, Texas HB 1375—the latest censorship attempt—died without a vote. We're grateful for the many booksellers and readers who made their voices heard. Their efforts show just how powerful our voices are 💓

Bookish propaganda we’re not falling for (you can't fool us, sorry!): 🎧 “Listening on audio doesn't count as reading.” 📚 “Amazon is the best place to buy books.” 🎥 “The movie was better.” 🛍 “It's one or the other: libraries or indie bookshops.” ❌ “It's not book censorship.”

Libro.fm and 40+ organizations representing parents, grassroots organizers, authors, librarians, booksellers, and publishers have signed a statement on the firing of Dr. Carla Hayden.⁠ 📣 Share & act now 📧 bit.ly/EmailHayden

PSA: Because of readers’ support, this Independent Bookstore Day was not only the largest Bookstore Day ever for so many bookshops, but their biggest day of sales ever. We at Libro.fm also had our biggest day of sales ever, all of which supported indie bookshops across the globe.

Because of you, we raised over $55,000 in support of public libraries during National Library Week 💓 (At least one of our team members cried seeing that number. Okay, fine, it was me.) Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who donated, shared, or showed support for their library in other ways.

This is us giving you permission to stay home and catch up on all your Indie Bookstore Day purchases.

What better way to treat the post Indie Bookstore Day hangover than by shopping the last day of the Libro.fm sale? Every purchase supports your indie 😏
