This might seem kinda old-fashioned, but I love learning through audiobooks. Do most libraries carry audio college history books, or am I better off seeking them online?
Many local libraries do carry audiobooks, including ones focused on college level history. You might want to check the digital lending platform your library uses, such as Overdrive or Libby, which offer a vast selection of e-books and audiobooks accessible from your own devices.
However, the specific selection can vary greatly from one library system to another. So, you might not always find the specialized college-level history resources. For that reason, it could be worthwhile to also explore online resources as well, such as Audible or other audiobook platforms which often have extensive collections. Some universities also offer their course content for free online, on platforms like Coursera and edX, and these often include lecture recordings with audio.
Don't forget to check the resources available at your college library too; they might have a subscription to a large audiobook pool focused on academic subjects. I hope this helps, and happy listening!
