Finding Audiobooks

Search the "Genre" subsection of the catalog for "Audiobooks" to browse our small collection of audiobooks. Most titles are related to classical literature and the curriculum in some way.

For leisure reading, you can use the Hamilton Public Library for their collection of audiobooks. Colgate students are eligible for a Library card, and simply need to go to the public library and fill out a form to get access to all resources.
