Who we are

We care about supporting small businesses because we are a small business.

Libro.fm began as a conversation over beers at a local bookstore in Seattle (Third Place Books—check it out sometime), and from the vision, to the technology, to the now thriving community, we’ve grown this from the ground up.

Get to know us on a first name basis—because for all who are a part of the Libro.fm story, we promise to do the same. You can also meet our extended team, the thousands of booksellers who work with us each day, by visiting your local bookstore.
