Summary/Abstract: The article looks through the position of Bulgarian libraries to audiobooks; their availability to readers as well as to people with disabilities; the importance of audio files and their availability in such institutions; and what contribution they make to society. The available funds and technologies in public libraries related to sound files and their use, distribution, and creation are presented as well. In a similar way, the position of society and how familiar it is with the matter of audiobooks were also reviewed. For this purpose, two surveys have been conducted that examine these aspects, and the results are presented through analysis and conclusions.
