![]() ![]() Now let’s go over how to add audiobooks from the library to your iPhone! Once you’ve learned which service you can use through your library, download the app and sign in to your library account (this usually involves your library card number/login and password). Check your local library’s website or ask a librarian-they’ll be super happy to tell you what digital services are available for you. Specific services and apps may not be available at every library, but chances are they offer at least one of the following options. Your local library is one of the best resources for digital audiobooks. So, in the case presented in the above screenshot, the first track is the prologue, so the first chapter is actually track 2. The last thing to note about Libro.fm is that at this time, the track listings are not labeled by chapter numbers. This is also where you’ll find any bookmarks you’ve created whilst listening. To access the track listings to skip to a specific chapter, tap the three dots on the top right corner. Libro.fm’s audiobook player is pretty straightforward, with quick 15 second back/forward arrows, a bookmark button, sleep timer (with preset minutes or until the end of chapter), and listening speed options. Once your audiobook is downloaded, tap on the cover to start listening. Tap the cover and it will start downloading, with a teal progress bar to show you how long it will take. ![]() Once there, you’ll find a download icon on the top left cover of any books that have not yet been downloaded to your phone.

Going back and forth between chapters is incredibly easy: just tap the “chapters” button on the bottom on the player, and a track/chapter listing will pop up. Easy peasy, right?
