“Are we there yet?” Tired of hearing that phrase for the 10th time in the last two hours of your trip … and that’s just from your spouse..
Make queuing up and downloading some great audiobooks part of your packing list this year. With our library apps, Libby and Hoopla, you and your family have so many choices. You could even have all the passengers choose a book ahead of time (depending on the length of your drive).
Here is just a very short list of audiobook suggestions to help make your road trips a bit more enjoyable this summer. Have fun and be safe out there!
If you need help learning how to set up and use Libby and Hoopla, stop in the library. We are happy to help.
Family – All Ages
These suggestions are for primary school aged children with longer attention spans. An idea for younger children is to bring along a physical copy of the picture book (if they are beyond tearing pages) for them to follow along with the audiobook.
