YW - do try OverDrive if your library has it. These days, quite a few of them do. I use it all the time. It's easy to use - either on your PC or with the mobile app. If you decide to try it and need help, go to the Public Library Audiobooks thread.
You should also check to see if your library reciprocates with other libraries. If so, you can belong to more than one, giving you a wider selection and easier availability. I belong to a bunch and actively use 4-5 of them. What one doesn't have, another might. What's on a wait list at one might be available at another. Definitely worth checking into.
As to listening time, I frequently multitask while listening - doing chores, surfing the web, posting here, what have you.
