Back to School time is the perfect time for everyone to renew their focus on learning and set goals for the year ahead.

Audiobooks are perfect for helping you meet your goals. Did you know listening to audiobooks has been proven to build and enhance vital literacy skills such as fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension?

Audiobooks encourage critical thinking and active listening skills, and provide a great alternative to screen time on tablets and smartphones. And no, audiobooks are not cheating! …they’re a fabulous way to learn and grow.

So, to jumpstart the month of learning and back to school, Libro.fm has put together a wide range of audiobooks that should appeal to many ranging from the youngest listeners who might be heading back to school with their first listen to The Boxcar Children, to the parents of children preparing for years of education with The Good School, to those that want to stretch their thinking and learn about topics like "fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution" in Cosmos. Find the complete list on the Libro.fm blog.

Sherman Alexie visited BookPeople of Moscow for an author event for his book Thunder Boy Jr. in July 2016. He was pretty happy to see The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian on our mural on the back of the store! Maybe that's why he and his wife bought lots of books at BookPeople while they were in town...or maybe it's because they love indie bookstores. Either way, we love Sherman.
