5 Websites to Read Books for Free
In addition to public library websites📚
It’s true — the only time I splurge on purchasing a book is when I’m sure I’ll read it more than once. Raising a family on one income, it’s helpful to be spend-conscious.
You can’t beat FREE!
My favorite way to get physical books for free is through hyperlocal gifting groups on Facebook (a few in my area are Buy Nothing and Green Bee).
My favorite way to enjoy free ebooks (and audiobooks!) is through my local library’s website.
Libraries have an incredible selection, but there are times all digital copies of a book are already loaned out. Other times, they don’t have the book I’m after (did you know you can submit a suggestion or request to your library for them to order a specific book?).
On top of these reasons to seek other places to read books online for free, not everyone has the luxury of access to a public library.
I’m excited to share some of my go-to websites when the need arises!
Bear in mind most websites offering free books have a fraction of the selection libraries do. Two on my list offer mostly classic titles or public domain books. Some aren’t as user-friendly to navigate, and advertisements can interfere with search results…
