We love to listen to audio books when we travel! We have listened to everything from Dr. Seuss and Little Golden Books to Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, Bear Snores On, A to Z Mysteries and Louis Lamour. Our kids enjoy watching the miles pass by while we all enjoy a good book together.Audiobooks are great for people who love to read books but find themselves on the go more often than they find themselves in a chair on the beach. Unfortunately, audiobooks tend to be quite pricy. Good thing there are tons of options for frugal audio books!
Where do we find audiobooks?
The best place to find audiobooks is your local library. The Boyle County Library has tons of audiobooks in the kids and adult section. We always check out several before we make a road trip. Most libraries let you check these audiobooks out for 14 days (some libraries have different check out days - so check first).
Cracker Barrel has a 'rental' programhere. (FREE of course)You purchase the audiobook in one Cracker Barrel location at full price (usually prices range from $10 up to $49 - Rather steep initial out of pocket) BUT you can return the audiobook at another Cracker Barrel location and get a refund of your full purchase price minus $3.49. So basically you rent the audiobook for $3.49 for up to 1 week. (Thanks Mahala & Mom!)

Are there other ways to enjoy listening to a good book without spending alot of money? I'd love to hear!
