Are books recorded by volunteers?

Frequently Asked Questions
Only a few. About 7 percent of audio books produced for NLS each year are recorded in volunteer studios. One reason that this number is not larger is that it is very difficult to reach and maintain the quality standards for NLS books, so many volunteer studios choose to record books and magazines for their local area only. Also, since volunteers seldom narrate every day, volunteer studios tend to take much longer to record books.
