StreetLib is excited to announce a new partnership with Libro.fm, the leading audiobook platform that supports independent bookstores. This collaboration brings a unique opportunity for authors and publishers to distribute audiobooks while continuing to support their local, independent bookstores.
Founded in 2014, Libro.fm has quickly become a go-to platform for audiobook lovers who want to support independent bookstores. With over 500,000 audiobooks available and more than 3,000 bookstore partners, Libro.fm has a truly global presence, with members in 90 countries. Unlike other audiobook services, Libro.fm allows users to purchase audiobooks through their favorite independent bookstores, ensuring that a portion of the revenue goes directly to support these vital community hubs.
As an employee-owned Social Purpose Corporation, Libro.fm shares profits from audiobook purchases with the selected bookstore, empowering readers to help strengthen their local economies. Users can choose between a monthly membership or à la carte audiobook purchases, and listen to their selections via the free Libro.fm app.
By adding Libro.fm to our growing list of distribution platforms, StreetLib opens new avenues for authors and publishers to connect with audiobook listeners who prioritize supporting local businesses. This partnership aligns with our commitment to providing innovative distribution solutions, following our recent collaboration with Bookshop.org—another platform that allows readers to support independent bookstores by purchasing both books and eBooks.
We are proud to support Libro.fm’s mission, which not only promotes great book discovery but also strengthens the independent bookselling community. Stay tuned for more updates as StreetLib continues to create new opportunities in audiobook distribution for authors and publishers worldwide.
