Borrow Box
If you don’t already use Borrow Box I’d highly recommend it. It’s available to anyone, all you need is a library card. You can borrow a wide selection of audio books for up to 21 days.
Once you’ve chosen your title you can download and add it like you normally would to a Creative Tonie. Just keep a reminder of when your time is up on the rental so you can remove it from the card. You can always borrow it again in future.
Where to Purchase Creative Tonies from?
You can purchase Creative Tonies to add free content direct from Tonies here or on Amazon here.
