South Carolina State Library Volunteer Opportunities Volunteers Make the Difference Volunteers play a vital role in providing library services to S.C. citizens with blindness, low vision or other conditions that make the use of standard printed materials difficult or impossible. Volunteers assist with the daily work of delivering qua lity library service. They reach out to those who may need, but are unaware of, the library's free talking book services. All are designed to match a volunteer's skills, interests and schedule. Volunteers develop their own schedules, based on the library's operating hours, for weekly or monthly commitments and for one-time projects.
All work is done on site at the libra ry.
Follow this link for a detailed description of the S.C. State Library's talking books program. The recordings are done in a sound-proof recording booth with a monitor. All narrators must pass an audition before being added to the library's roster. Good vocal skills, a pleasant voice and an acceptable reading style required. The monitor operates the recording equipment as the narrator reads the material.
