Audio + Ebooks

"Check out" free downloadable audiobooks and ebooks through Listen Up! Vermont. Sign in choosing Champlain Valley Union High School and your school ID number (the same one you use to buy lunch). There are also instructions to help you learn how to download and play digital audio files. These digital audio- and ebooks are checked out like library materials.






We have two Kindle ereaders in the library available to check out. As with pricier items, like calculators or A/V equipment, students need to have an adult sign a permission form in order to borrow a Kindle.

Kindles can be borrowed for one week, and we currently have them loaded with lots of literary classics. For details about the titles loaded, search kindle in our library catalog.

Librivox is a volunteer effort to make digital audio recordings of books in the public domain. This means books that are quite old (classics) and no longer under copyright. You won't find Steven King or Stephenie Meyers here, but you will find The Odyssey, Shakespeare, and lots of other classics that are assigned for English classes. These digital audiofiles are always available to download or stream.


Additional sites to download free audiobooks in the public domain (if they are free, they are probably old classics) are:
