Audiobooks for Schools
Give students access to a professionally curated audiobook library through one annual school subscription. Choose a Primary or Secondary Audiobook Collection based on your students’ age range, with Standard and Small School plans available. Each plan supports unlimited registered students and staff, while pricing and borrowing allowances vary by plan.
Audiobook Shared Collections
Your annual subscription gives your school access to a professionally curated Shared Collection, without requiring you to select and purchase every audiobook individually. By sharing the cost of the core collection, participating schools can offer students a much broader range of audiobooks at a lower effective cost per title. New audiobooks are added regularly, and you can purchase additional titles exclusively for your school through a Private Collection.
Generous fair-use borrowing limits help maintain equitable access across participating schools, while additional audiobook titles can be purchased exclusively for your school through a Private Collection.

Student Access and School Library Management
Students can browse, borrow and listen in a web browser or the ePlatform app, at school or at home, with offline listening available through the app. Supported single sign-on options simplify login, while library management integrations connect ePlatform with systems your school already uses.
Staff can manage users, control title visibility, review borrowing and usage, and add privately purchased titles to the school’s own collection from one administration portal. There are no per-user licence limits, so every registered student and staff member can be given access without purchasing individual licences.
Audiobooks for Education
Where a required title is available, students can listen alongside a print copy, revisit difficult sections and keep pace with assigned reading.
Teachers can use audiobooks during tutor time, literacy lessons or shared reading, helping schools establish regular and engaging reading routines.
Students can discover and listen to audiobooks during class, tutor time or independent reading—at school, at home or offline in the ePlatform app.

Reviews and Testimonials
From a librarian's point of view, there is no cataloguing, processing or repairing, the books get automatically returned so there are no overdues or lost books. A list of new titles is emailed periodically and the settings can be changed to stop certain age groups accessing material designed for older readers. Accessit works in tandem with ePlatform, so all titles a school has access to are on one catalogue. I thoroughly recommend ePlatform!
I’ve noticed that students are more motivated to read because of the convenience and variety on ePlatform. Reluctant readers, in particular, seem more engaged with the audiobooks. It also supports independent reading since students can log in anytime, even at home. Overall, it has encouraged consistency in reading habits and broadened students’ exposure to new genres and authors.
This has enabled students who are struggling with print copies of class sets to keep up with the class reading requirements. Even if we can't provide an Audio copy, we have the advantage of the spoken translation option with all of the eBooks. This has opened up access for many students. We added the Wellness Collection last year. Our Guidance Department paid for this. We felt that this was a great way for student to access important material with complete anonymity.
The amount of loans on the ebooks and audio books for last month was amazing. Thank you so much for providing such an amazing service. Anytime a student asks for a book and we do not have it, ePlatform is the first place I look to see if it is available through it. The teachers are also promoting it in class, with students having the option of using ePlatform for silent reading (10 to 15 minutes a day).
There is a good selection of books, it's free and the loan duration is a good length of time. We launched it through the school website to parents and initially trialled it within English lessons but then went to whole year groups when it was introduced with the Literary Canon reading time every day. We have found it is good for EAL students as we can often find translated texts and also for visually impaired students as you can change the font size or use an audible option.
We launched our ePlatform two weeks before the country went into its first lockdown. A lot of communication was done by email notices and flyers to let parents at home know how to access the eBooks. Our students totally engaged with it – and our loans went through the ceiling. Once or twice a year I promote the platform to classes visiting the library. I remind them how to access the platform and show them some of the latest appealing titles. I do this on a large display screen and play snippets of audiobooks so that they can hear the quality and the effects (music and accents etc).

An ePlatform Audiobook Shared Collection is a professionally curated digital library licensed for participating schools in the same region and student age range. One annual subscription gives your school access to 1,200+ audiobooks without having to select and purchase the core collection title by title. New titles are added regularly, while fair-use borrowing allowances help maintain equitable access across participating schools.

If you are looking for set texts or particular titles, include your list in the request form and our team will check current availability.
Audiobooks are supplied as licensed digital copies, so simultaneous listening depends on how many copies of a particular title are available and any restrictions set by the publisher. Unlimited registered users does not mean unlimited simultaneous access to every audiobook. If you are considering specific titles for class or set-text use, send us your list and our team will check current availability and explain the options for adding privately purchased audiobook copies to your school’s collection.
Students can browse, borrow, and listen via a web browser or the ePlatform app (available on iOS, Android, and the Amazon Appstore).

These titles appear alongside the Shared Collection in the same ePlatform library.
