How can audiobooks help students improve their learning?

Audiobooks enhance comprehension, memory retention, and listening skills. They provide an alternative way to absorb information, especially for students who may struggle with traditional reading or have learning differences. Listening to expressive narrators also deepens students' understanding and appreciation of the material.

Are audiobooks suitable for all types of learners?

Yes! Audiobooks benefit a wide range of learners, including those with dyslexia, visual impairments, or language barriers. They’re also great for auditory learners and students with busy schedules, as they can be listened to on the go. Audiobooks are an inclusive tool that supports diverse learning needs.

What makes LibroFM a good platform for students?

Its user-friendly interface allows for customizable listening experiences, such as adjustable playback speed and bookmarking features.

By The Numbers: Lioness Books Celebrates 6 Months

Six Months for Lioness Books - By The Numbers

Sarah Ambrus • December 31, 2024

After only six months in business, Lioness Books has had an amazing start, thanks to the support of our dedicated community. Reflecting on the year through numbers shows our incredible success - all thanks to our patrons!

Events - 61

Lioness Books was able to host sixty-one events with our community partners over six months in business in 2024. Our primary goal was to partner with small businesses to cross-promote shared goals like shopping local and promoting literacy. While we did attend some larger events such as the Texas Book Festival and Old Town Christmas Festival, we mainly promoted smaller, neighborhood events that brought together the community around a shared love of books and reading.

Community Partners - 28

We connected with 28 community partners throughout our first six months in business in 2024. The bookmobile was hosted by small businesses like coffee shops and breweries. We were able to set up in several neighborhoods and encourage conversations about books and literacy in communities. We attended several makers fairs and festivals. We also worked with schools and hospitals! The possibilities for partnerships are endless and we are so excited to form new connections all over the Austin area in 2025.

Books Donated - 245

As a bookseller, giving away books for free may seem counterintuitive, but thanks to the generosity of our customers and supporters, Lioness Books was able to donate books in several different capacities this year! We have a "Free Book" cart that we are able to display at select events to make sure no one leaves empty-handed. We gave away 104 books from our Free Book Cart in our first six months in business.

We also donated 71 books to the Inside Books Project. Inside Books Project is an Austin-based community service volunteer organization that sends free reading materials to people incarcerated in Texas. Inside Books is the only books-to-prisoners program in Texas, where more than 120,000 people are behind bars. Inside Books Project works to promote reading, literacy, and education among incarcerated individuals and to educate the general public on issues of incarceration.

Finally, we opened our first Little Free Library at one of our community partners, Learn Lee Tutors, in Leander, TX, and donated 70 books. Little Free Libraries expand access to books by providing literature at no cost, at a variety of locations. Being able to donate books and provide maintenance is another way we strive to create strong partnerships with the community and improve literacy access for all.

Looking to the future...

As we strive to empower our communities through access to literature, we sign our goals accordingly. For 2025, we plan on expanding and continuing to grow our influence in several areas.

- Open and maintain 4 new Little Free Libraries in the Austin area community in 2025.

- Donate an additional 500 books to the community this year.

- Build 25 new community partnerships, while continuing to support the local businesses that have partnered with us since our inception.

Every purchase you make through our bookstore allows us to reach these goals and invest back into the community all year long. Thank you for your support!
