Volunteers read and record written materials from over 130 sources in our studios, which are then broadcast over radio, TV, and available online, making printed content accessible in an audio format for everyone. The friendly voices of our volunteers also keep listeners connected to their community.
If your skills and passions match our needs, we’d love to have you join our audio reading team of ACPL volunteers! An interview and audition are required.
