Amazon has made all Audible books free to kids, teens

https://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/?detailStory=audible-announces-new-site-free-streaming-titles-f...

 

No registration, no log in, thousands of titles from books for the littlies to Sherlock Holmes and Frankenstein and YA for the high school kids. 

I know other places have too and I chose this link because to the right of the article and link are even more resources.  Still, glad Amazon is stepping up.

Depending on your local library.......Hoopla, Kanopy or RB Digital for movies/videos/magazines. 

 

I have an out of state library card for Orange Co FL and I can get 10 free items per month on Hoopla, 5 movie credits on Kanopy per month and unlimited RB Digital Magazines.

My pleasure @butterfly123 .  Can't help my own community (it's a mess) so very glad to help yours Smiley Happy

I can't find the link and hope Q didn't remove it but I'm sure I remember someone posting that library-something was making I think ebooks available for free?  Wish I knew details.

Then there are the publishes listed to the right of the link up top. 

But I hope someone can step in and publish that other link to ebooks!

I wonder if it’s Open Library?

@butterfly123   Couldn't find that but found these.  I'm sure there are more:

 

ScribD (and one of the books they're showing is currently very popular, Saint X, so it's not just pubic domain stuff like some sites are "giving away" -- that's free anyway): 

 

Again, no registration or obligation and assume they'll extend it because this thing isn't going away in a month but one day at a time, amirite?

There are others but because I don't use the ebook library system I'm not understanding what I'm seeing, like Overdrive/Libby app and I never heard of Open Library but I'm thinking when I get back here there will be more because this forum is so great Smiley Happy
