Anyone who has spent even a few minutes on the LibriVox forums knows Kara, the most tireless of our volunteers, and I suspect the most prolific (according the the New York Times, and they should know, Kara has contributed more than 200 individual chapters to LibriVox!).
Kara also embodies the spirit of LibriVox and everything wonderful […]

Craig Silverman writes about LibriVox, and a few other public domain projects, in the NY Times today.

Read by Kara Shallenberg.
The tale of orphaned Mary Lennox comes to life in this delightful reading. If you ever wondered what the ‘broad Yorkshire’ characters were saying when you read it, then this is the book to listen to. Ms. Shallenberg gives new insight to this well known tale of a spoiled girl that brings […]

Read by John Greenman.
As the summer draws to a close, let reader John Greenman introduce you to Tom Sawyer, the boy who best represents the freedom and fun of summer. John’s enthusiastic reading complements Mark Twain’s ear for dialog to bring to life the voices of Tom, Huck Finn, Becky Thatcher and the rest. With […]

We’ve got some very special projects in the works to commemorate this happy occasion. We should be able to post links very soon, so stay tuned!

Some of you might have noticed that the Feed of New Releases isn’t updated anymore or returns error-messages in your feed-aggregator.
This is due to the unfortunate terrible disaster that struck our feed service provider rapidfeeds.com. Our feed is gone along with the complete database of 10.000 other feeds of blogs and websites from around the […]

We get asked, occasionally if we provide CDs of our audio. The answer is … er, not really. We would *like* to do it, and we’ve talked about it, but no group of volunteers have yet to step up with a comprehensive plan for how to make it work. And we go only where our […]
