What is LibriVox?
Free audiobooks, recorded by volunteers around the world.
LibriVox is a global community of volunteers who record audiobooks from books that are free to share. Because these recordings are released for anyone to use, you can listen, download, and enjoy them at no cost.
What you'll find
The LibriVox catalog focuses on older works-classic literature, history, philosophy, poetry, and more. These are books that are no longer under copyright, which makes it possible to share them freely.
You'll find authors like Dickens, Austen, Plato, and many others-along with thousands of lesser-known works waiting to be discovered.
How it works
LibriVox is built by volunteers. People from around the world choose books they love and record them, usually one chapter at a time. Other volunteers help by proof-listening and organizing each project.
When a book is complete, it becomes part of the LibriVox collection-freely available for anyone to enjoy.
How this app fits in
This app helps you discover and listen to LibriVox recordings more easily-searching, organizing, and playing thousands of audiobooks in one place.
The recordings themselves come from the LibriVox community. This app is an independent project built to make that collection easier to explore and enjoy, and is not affiliated with the LibriVox project.
Why it's special
LibriVox is built on a simple idea: people sharing books they love.
Thousands of volunteers have contributed their time and voices to create a library that's free for everyone. It's a unique collection shaped by the interests and efforts of its community, and it continues to grow every day.
