Dear all who may read this:
I would like to express my unceasing thanks to all those who volunteer
and read all the various books posted on your website. It has
inexpressibly enriched my life spent traveling. I love to read and
now I can do so incessantly :) As soon as I have some time (next
summer), I certainly plan to join in to pay my dues.Again, many thanks, what you do is fabulous! I especially want to
thank Kara Shallanberg who has a special gift for varying her
intonation (which does not take away from the others being great as
well).Lucia O.

Emaildesk: Letter from Japan
Hi Hugh,
I am writing this mail just to say thank you for the wonderful project you have started.
I have been introducing Audio Books form LibriVox to learners of English in Japan in the past year, and I have had a great time.
The Secret Garden, Anne of Green Gables, The Winds in the Willows…those are the wonderful audio books I truly enjoyed to listen and to introduce in my blog.Since last month, I have started “Audio Book Club” where I introduce a particular audio book form LibriVox and exchange comments about the story with readers of my blog. This month, I picked up the Great Big Treasury of Beatrix Potter, and my first choice was The Tale of Two Bad Mice, without knowing that it was read by the founder of LibriVox.
When I found that you are the founder, I thought it is time to say thank you.Lots of people are learning English in Japan, and in other countries, and we have paid awfully lots of money to listen English. Audio Books are, although very interesting, prohibitively expensive to buy. But with LibriVox, we can enjoy wonderful books at free and also can share the pleasure with friends on internet.
It is indeed marvellous.
Thank you again and best regards,
MT
