Free audio and e-books

You cannot get any thriftier about reading than having FREE access to audio and e-books! My local county public library subscribes to two such services: Hoopla and cloudLibrary. You will need three things to begin: a smartphone or tablet to download the apps, your library card number and the last four digits of your phone number used to sign up for the library card.

I would recommend steering clear of the Joopla guides on Hoopla. They are like Cliff Notes for the books you want to read and are much too condensed to use up your valuable limit of books per month.

Sometimes (and this might drive you nuts) Hoopla will not let you access a book saying that your library's limit has already been reached. Be patient and just keep trying, you will eventually succeed in accessing it. 

So check your local library to see what their app subscriptions are and enjoy!
