I just got a great email message:

Dear Mr. McGuire,
I have recently opened a library in the virtual world of Second Life (www.secondlife.com), and I took the liberty of introducing some of your audio book files into our collection. We, The Second Life Literary Foundation, are a purely non-profit group, and all books using Librivox files are free to all Second Life residents.

I truly hope that it will meet with your approval. Proper credits are given with each book as well as links to your web page are provided.

To view the project, please visit: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Willow/64/188/23

I look forward to establishing a working relationship with Librivox.

Best regards,
Sincerely,
Maria C.
