June 2025 – Audiobook Appreciation Month

By April Shaw

June is Audiobook Appreciation Month! 

Audiobooks can be enjoyed on the go, while cooking, working out, taking a bath, etc. As an audiobook listener myself, I encourage readers who struggle with print to try a different medium. If you love podcasts, give audiobooks a try! 

KLIC has a curated collection of over 231 audiobook titles available online to check out via a database called Libby (also known as Overdrive Books). When searching the catalog for your title, select books with “Full Text Available” or “Online Access” from Overdrive Books (Libby). You can check out up to 10 at a time, so browse and enjoy!

Accessing Libby

There are multiple ways to access Libby! There is the app available for download from Google Play and the Apple Store (i-Pad and i-Phone only)! To find Libby online from our homepage, go to Database List, then search for Libby from the search bar.



Adding Our Library

Adding our library on Libby is simple! On the Libby homepage, click “Sign In With My Card.” On the next screen, select “Chattanooga State Login.” 
Complete the Microsoft Login process (same as logging into your email or eLearn). Once your sign-in is complete, Chatt State will show up as your library with a linked card.
