Unlimited Listens
/RF is always interested in license arrangements that offer value for libraries, especially as rising costs make digital increasingly difficult to sustain for many libraries.
We therefore pass along news from Unlimited Listens:
Unlimited Listens & The Palace Project
Delaware based Unlimited Listens, LLC is launching a genre based audiobook program to U.S. Public libraries in partnership with The Palace Project. The initial offering will feature over 3,500 titles.
The catalog includes Christian, Classics, Children’s, Westerns and Clean Romance titles from a portfolio of more than 60 publishers. More than 50 titles per month will be added to the Unlimited Listens offering.
Unlimited Listens plans to offer Spanish, Self-development, and other catalog verticals by Q4.
Unlimited Listens offers the library a tremendous value with its unlimited access subscription model. Subscriptions through the Palace Project app start as little as $500.

They have a website with some details.
The ability to offer unlimited simultaneous access for a reasonable cost, especially without having to pay for every use, is attention grabbing in the day of $135 for two year/1user at a time audiobooks. This could be a great content addition for libraries that use Palace, and yet another reason to consider the Palace app. Patrons may not find the latest best seller this way, but the fare has the prospect of attracting audiences looking for inspirational and Spanish titles. RF will try to post a titles list. If you are going to PLA, Booth #517 seems well worth a stop.
