Hello Everyone,
We host all our audio files with the wonderful archive.org. The last couple of days, we’ve been getting numerous reports of LirbiVox books being unavailable, unfindable, or undownloadable. We are looking into it with archive.org – but don’t panic! We’ve had similar issues in the past, and after some hiccups, we expect things will [...]

However, Net Neutrality [...]

A special happy birthday to Betsie, aka Thistlechick, a tireless LibriVox cataloger, moderator, and meta coordinator!

We’ve had some great additions to the catalog recently:

Joy Chan read Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress

Steve Andersen brought Twain to life with A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court

And we released LibriVox Short Poetry Collection I, selected by LibriVox volunteers.

We’ve got another one in the catalog queue (hint: it’s Finnish!)

So for the past several weeks, we’ve been adding about 25-ish new volunteers to the forum a week. Then last week, an article came out in wired.com, and then got picked up elsewhere, including the German site heise online.
Well, the result was 85 new volunteers this week, and a hectic, busy time trying to manage [...]

We now have a flickr badge … scroll down and look at the photos to the right. Any public photos tagged “librivox” on flickr will turn up here … so take a pic of your studio, some old books we’re doing, libraries … anything you like, and you’ll see it there eventually.
Oh if you don’t [...]
