CONTINUING IN THE TIME OF COVID

Dear Audio-Reader patron, Six months into the COVID19 pandemic, Audio-Reader is still running remote operations, as the University of Kansas monitors the health and well-being of students, faculty and staff through phased reopening. 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. Pittsburg Regional Newspapers are now broadcast live 3-4pm weekdays. The Pittsburg Morning Sun can also be found in the weekday broadcast of Newspapers of Southeast Kansas at 4:00PM. 4
