Books are Only Half the Story

Magazine Reader:

Read The Tennessean live to our patrons who are unable to access print materials in other ways. You would record as part of a three person team of volunteers. These patrons will listen to your recording over a special radio.

Additionally, volunteers would be asked to read, on a substitute basis, the Tennessean live over the air as part of a team of three when one of the regular readers is unable to. Volunteers should have a nice speaking voice and feel confident in their literacy skills.
