Description

LibriVox is a hope, an experiment, and a question: Can the internet harness a bunch of volunteers to help bring books in the public domain to life through podcasting? LibriVox wants all books in the public domain to be available, for free, in audio format, on the internet. They ask volunteers to record chapters of books in the public domain in digital format; all you need is a computer, some free recording software, and your own voice! They are a totally volunteer, open source, free content, public domain project. Once they get the files, they catalog them, and podcast the books, one at a time. Lend your voice to a good cause.

Below you will find the LibriVox catalog, which includes completed books, short works, and works-in-progress. Only the completed works are available for download. If you would like to help record or to volunteer other services (help with cataloging, editing etc), please see Volunteering for LibriVox.
