Tech Tips: Free Audiobook Service

FREE AUDIOBOOK SERVICE

Recently, a podcast that I was listening to suggested a couple of books by well-known authors:
The Last Man by Mary Shelley and Scarlet Plague by Jack London.  Unfortunately, neither of these titles have yet to be produced by the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled.  However, a free service called Librivox had both titles.  Librivox is an audiobook producer made up of volunteers who provide books that are in the public domain.  Popular authors such as Isaac Asimov, Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, and others.  Books can be downloaded and played on your computer, digital Talking Book Player, or on a smart device through the Librivox app.  Take a moment and visit their website www.librivox.org.
