We are delighted to report that our fund-raising drive has reached its goal in only 13 days.

We have therefore now closed our appeal, but if you still wish to donate, you may like to consider supporting our partners: Project Gutenberg (from whom we get most of our texts) and the Internet Archive (which hosts our audio files for free).

********************************************

Hosting costs for our website include the forum, wiki, catalogue, uploading service and back-end software for projects in progress, and management software. This does not include the hosting of our completed projects, which are hosted here on the Internet Archive.

For four-and-a-half years, LibriVox volunteers have been making audiobooks for the world to enjoy, and giving them away for free. To date, all our costs have been borne by a few individuals, with some generous donations from partners. However, these costs had become too big.

Our fundraising goal was $20,000. After we reached it, we shut down our fundraising campaign. And we hope we can make it another 4.5 years without having to bother you again!

Listen here to Hugh McGuire's full post, with notes from our sysadmin about our hosting needs, or read it on this page.
