Someone recently came into the library and informed us of a great site called LibriVox. This website is run by volunteers and their objective is "to make all books in the public domain available, for free, in audio format on the internet." Books in the "public domain" are those whose copyrights have expired and therefore are available for use however the public sees fit. These are usually older books, published before 1925. The volunteers at LibriVox create recordings of these books and donate them to the public. You can even volunteer to read yourself! So if you enjoy audiobooks, this is the site for you!
