We love books in every form — and that includes audiobooks. That’s why we’ve partnered with Libro.fm, an audiobook platform that lets you listen to the stories you love while directly supporting independent bookshops like ours.
Unlike the big overseas platforms, Libro.fm is an employee-owned Social Purpose Corporation. Their mission is simple: make audiobooks accessible while strengthening local bookshops and communities. Every time you purchase through Libro.fm and choose Hedley’s as your bookstore, a share of the profits comes straight back to us.
How Libro.fm works
Getting started is easy. You sign up, select your favourite local bookshop (hello, Hedley’s!), and browse a huge catalogue of bestsellers, new releases, and hidden gems. You can buy audiobooks one by one, or join their monthly membership for regular listening. The app works beautifully on your phone, and because the files are DRM-free, the audiobooks you buy are yours to keep on your virtual bookshelf forever.
For us, partnering with Libro.fm is about more than just offering another format — it’s about keeping book culture local, even in the digital space. Every listen helps sustain the ecosystem of small, independent shops that make communities vibrant.
