The Audio-Reader Network, based at the University of Kansas, is a radio reading service for blind and vision-impaired people. The non-profit only has a handful of employees, but it has nearly 300 volunteers. And some of those volunteers are helping Audio-Reader "gear up" for Saturday's big audio sale at the Lawrence Public Library. The benefit sale features vintage audio equipment and thousands of vinyl records. KPR's J. Schafer has more.
KPR's J. Schafer spoke with Trish Dowd Kelne, coordinator of volunteers at Audio-Reader, as well as volunteer Ed Hawkins, who helps get the donated audio goods in tip-top shape before each audio sale.
Audio-Reader's big audio sale runs from 10 am to 4 pm Saturday at the Lawrence Public Library.
