It’s not even Halloween yet, but we’re already wrapped up in Christmas!

Our Christmas cards are flying off the shelves faster than Santa’s sleigh and our cute robin design has already flown the nest... But fear not, there’s still plenty of festive magic to go around with 10 beautiful cards left to choose from.

So don’t let Christmas creep up on you 🧟 get ahead of the festive rush and spread a little Christmas cheer.

🎁 Shop our Christmas cards today at www.calibreaudio.org.uk/shop

We are delighted to have our Vice-President Dame Judi Dench’s new memoir 'Is It Too Late to Make a Run for It?' live now on My Calibre and available for our members to borrow, offering a personal account of her extraordinary life and career spanning more than seven decades.

We’re proud that Dame Judi Dench has dedicated her support to Calibre Audio over many years.

In an interview with the BBC, Dame Judi spoke about her life and experiences, including the challenges associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). As our Vice-President, her experience highlights the purpose at the heart of our work: ensuring that people with a print disability can continue to enjoy books, stories and the independence that reading brings.

We’re delighted to announce a new partnership with Echo Point Books & Media bringing even more fantastic audiobooks to Calibre Audio.

Echo Point has a wonderfully eclectic collection of audiobooks, spanning a diverse range of genres. Our partnership began when a Calibre Audio member requested Opening Up by Writing It Down by James W. Pennebaker and Joshua M. Smyth. Echo Point Books & Media kindly donated the audiobook for our library, which explores how expressive writing can help us process difficult emotions, reduce stress and improve our wellbeing.

We’re so grateful to Echo Point for supporting our work and helping us make more stories and knowledge accessible to people with print disabilities. 💛

"We're thrilled to be working with Calibre Audio to connect our high-quality, human narrated audiobooks with people with a print disability in the UK. The service Calibre Audio provides is vital to supporting accessibility across a diversity of genres, which aligns with Echo Point's own wonderfully eclectic mix of audiobooks. We're humbled to contribute to their work."

Calibre Conversations Live 2026 ❤️

What a day! From 500 years of history to bringing stories to life on stage, Calibre Conversations Live was a wonderful celebration of accessible reading, creativity and the power of storytelling.

A huge thank you to Louie Stowell, Rashmi Sirdeshpande and Vaseem Khan for sharing your stories, insights and inspiration.

One of the highlights was seeing so many children throw themselves into the interactive storytelling workshops, acting out their own stories on stage and soaking up the excitement of being in a theatre that felt like theirs. Their enthusiasm was infectious! ✨

It was also an honour to welcome SJ Poyton, who presented certificates to some of our winners.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, met these incredible authors and helped make the day so special. We’re still smiling! ❤️
