Michele,
You may be right. Evidently, I misunderstood the information given to me by
the learning specialist. Apologies!

Isn't Learning Ally limited to use by students with documented learning
disabilities? Or am I missing something?
Thanks!

Hello BAISL,
I would highly recommend using www.learningally.org. They have a library
of over 80,000 commonly taught/requested, school-appropriate, downloadable
audiobooks, and a 15-month subscription (for us) was $850. It has been met
with rave reviews from our students and learning specialists alike, and the
best part is that their .mp3 files are compatible with a wide variety of
.mp3 players; we actually have our students use their own devices, and the
student management interface is a snap. We've all but abandoned Audible,
who limits each account to a paltry four devices (I discovered this after
numerous calls to customer service), and whose .mp3s are very fussy with
regard to device compatibility. If you've got money in your budget,
LearningAlly is the way to go for audiobooks.

Hi All,
How do your libraries offer audiobooks to students? Do you buy physical
cds for the library collection, or do you offer downloadable/streaming
audiobooks? If streaming/downloading, which company do you use? Does anyone
use Audible.com, and if so how does that work for libraries?
Thanks for your guidance!
