From Sadie, new listener, new volunteer:
I just wanted to say thank you.
I can’t believe you people have volunteered to put audio stories out on the internet without charging a penny. It’s so easy to get swept up in the profit that can be made on the web, selling nearly everything. As a single disabled mother of one, I have neither the funds nor the ability to go out and buy great books such as the ones you feature.
I thank you most sincerely!
What can a listener do to help support and promote you and your site?
We’re so glad you are enjoying our books! As you’ve already found out, we can always use help in our Listeners Wanted section:
http://librivox.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=21
We ask listeners to “proof-listen” our completed projects before we catalog them, to check for easily editable errors such as repeated sentences or oddly-long pauses. (NOT for things like small stumbles, page turns, or mispronounciations – we accept such things as part of the volunteer charm of librivox)
There’s almost always a book or two posted there and waiting for helpful listeners such as you, Sadie! :)
