FYI: There's currently a humble bundle for GraphicAudio's audio dramas. There's 3 for $1, 12 for $10 and 22 for $18 options. The production values for their audios are pretty good, IMO. I think it's something as a sampler, with the first titles of a bunch of series.

I guess it’s location-dependent, but my local library has had about 80%+ of the audiobooks I’ve looked up/been interested in listening to.

Edit: downloadable only. If I considered other media like CD’s (I don’t) the % would be slightly higher.

Very location dependent.
