The RUSA Listen List award “highlights extraordinary narrators and listening experiences that merit special attention by a general adult audience and the librarians who advise them.” Check those holds! Do you offer these audiobooks?

It’s all about empathy. As Booklist shares, “Across this year’s wide-ranging ‘best’ selections, from historical fiction to contemporary satire and personally insightful nonfiction, these productions are unified by an element so vital to audio: empathy. Narrators who empathize with their subjects and convey that in such a way that listeners can sink deeper into understanding another’s perspective are the best of what audio offers us.”
