Talking books from the library

Talking books on compact disc or cassette are another way of enjoying stories, plays, poetry, biographies and other books. They are ideal if you are not able to read print and also great for everyone to listen to in the car or while relaxing at home.

All the talking books you can borrow from libraries in Shropshire are listed in the Library Catalogue which is available online. Please follow the link to "Library catalogue and renewals" on this page, or you may like to look at lists of the talking books available by type:

Fiction

• Adventure
• Crime
• Family stories
• General fiction

Non-fiction

• Biography and travel
• General non-fiction
• History
• Poetry and plays

In each list, the books are arranged in alphabetical order by the author, and books on compact disc and cassette are listed separately, with those on compact disc listed first. Follow the links on this page to browse the lists, or to print them.

If you would like to receive regular updates of new titles by e-mail, or would like the lists in a different format, please ask.

You can request talking books from any library or mobile library or by using the online request system. Requests and loans are free if you have a concessionary membership card. Please ask in the library about this if you do not have one or follow the link on this page to find out more.
