Re: Audiobooks
Variety
James McAvoy is coming back as Morpheus in Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman: Act II” audio drama — set to premiere exclusively on Audible this fall.
The audio series will continue Audible’s adaptation the best-selling graphic novel series written by Gaiman and published by DC. “The Sandman: Act II” will debut Sept. 22, 2021 ... Amazon-owned Audible announced its order for seasons 2 and 3 of “The Sandman” earlier this year, after launching the first installment a year ago.
...
“The Sandman: Act II” will once again be adapted and directed by Dirk Maggs and narrated by Gaiman, who also serves as creative director and co-executive producer. The original score is again provided by BAFTA-winning composer James Hannigan.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Re: Audiobooks
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.

Re: Audiobooks
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.
