Do you have an interest in reviewing and editing audio production? We need your help in getting audio books and magazines out to those with temporary or permanent disabilities that prevent them from being able to read traditional printed books.
Volunteers will review and edit studio recorded books and magazines using digital audio recording software. They will make notes of errors in narration or deviation from printed text so that the narrator can go back and fix. They will also edit recording as needed to minimize background noise and create a high quality product.
The Idaho Commission for Libraries staff and volunteers will provide training for this position, but will need volunteers who feel comfortable working with computers and software, have an ear to detect unwanted noises on the recording, and are able to commit to volunteer for at least 6 months.
Idaho Commission for Libraries' volunteers get access to thousands of great audio books, can join in ongoing learning opportunities and participate in staff and volunteer festivities throughout the year.
We offer a flexible volunteer schedule Monday - Friday 8AM - 5PM.
If you are interested in being a narrator, this job is for you too! We ask that all narrators begin as reviewers for training purposes.

Mission Statement
The Idaho Commission assists libraries to build the capacity to better serve their communities.
Description
A few examples of how The Idaho Commission for Libraries helps build the capacity of Idaho Libraries are the following services:
Talking Book Service provides free audio and Braille books and magazines and the necessary playback equipment, for Idahoans of all ages who are unable to read standard print materials.
The Read to Me program supports early childhood literacy with a variety of projects such as "First Book", "Jumpstart Kindergarten", "Summer Reading", "Family Reading Week" and so much more.
Teen programs help inspire teens to go on to be life long readers and learners.
Lili (Libraries Linking Idaho) is a group of projects and services that bring networked library service to the residents of Idaho. Idahoans will be familiar with the LiLI Portal where users can search the statewide library catalog, read magazine and newspaper articles, and even find auto-repair help. In addition to those statewide services, LiLI fosters collaboration among libraries for interlibrary sharing, keeping up with technology trends, and developing cooperative services among libraries.
