This means that all our programs are currently recorded remotely by volunteers reading from their homes. Most changes to our programs and services will remain in place through the end of 2020. Our Audio Description program is temporarily on hold while live events are limited, due to the pandemic. Our satellite locations in Kansas City and Springfield, MO remain inactive due to the pandemic. Daily readings of Kansas City Metro Newspapers are available 3:00PM Wednesdays and Fridays. The Springfield News-Leader can be heard at 5:00PM daily in the Missouri News Hour, and in its entirety on the Lions Telephone Reader service.
