Because of the sensitive nature of the themes, visitors to the tables were often hesitant to browse or borrow the books. Through Libby, we can offer a wider selection of titles that users can browse, borrow, and listen to privately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Listening, Less Waiting<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"110\" height=\"110\" src=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2026\/10\/libby-smile.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17243\" role=\"none\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We chose Libby, a service from the company OverDrive, to host the collection because its flexible lending model allows multiple people to borrow the same title at the same time for 98% of the audiobooks in the collection. For the small number of single borrower titles, users can place a hold and receive an availability notification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have questions about the collection or using the app, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/libguides.brown.edu\/c.php?g=1555693\">Wellness Audiobook Collection Guide<\/a>, email <a href=\"mailto:library@brown.edu\">library@brown.edu<\/a>, or stop by a popup BWell table at the Rockefeller or Sciences libraries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your Brown University Library is thrilled to announce its new Wellness Audiobook Collection, available to all current Brown ID holders.&nbsp; Access the collection now on the Libby app: A collaborative effort between the Library and BWell Health Promotion, the curated collection includes audiobooks focused on six areas of wellbeing: More Titles, More Privacy For the <a href=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/new-wellness-audiobook-collection\/\" class=\"more-link\">&#8230;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">  New Wellness Audiobook Collection<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":107,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,4,6,155,14,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcements","category-eresources","category-featured-resources","category-home-page","category-new-resources","category-new-resources-services"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/107"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17241"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17247,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17241\/revisions\/17247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/libnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
