IRS990/Desc0THE PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITY PROVIDED BY BOOKS ALOUD, INC. IS A FREE LENDING LIBRARY OF BOOKS RECORDED BY VOLUNTEER VOICES DIGITALLY AND TRANSFERRED ONTO CASSETTE TAPES, CDS, AND NOOK COLOR TABLETS FOR THOSE WHO CAN READ ONLY BY LISTENING, THE BLIND AND DISABLED. URING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015, 203 NEW RECORDED BOOK TITLES WERE ADDED TO THE LIBRARY. A SELECTION COMMITTEE OF VOLUNTEERS MET REGULARLY TO PLAN FOR EXCELLENCE IN BOOK MATERIAL. 14,257 ALBUMS WERE IN CIRCULATION DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR, PROVIDING AN AVERAGE OF 9,443 LISTENING HOURS PER MONTH. THE AVERAGE BOOK RECORDED BY VOLUNTEERS IS FROM 200 TO 400 PAGES AND TAKES ABOUT FOUR TO TWELVE CASSETTES TO RECORD. STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS DUPLICATE EACH MASTER TAPE, SO THAT MANY ALBUMS OF THE BOOK ARE AVAILABLE FOR CIRCULATION. TAPES OR CDS ARE MAILED OUT FOR 30 TO 90 DAYS TO A CLIENT. CLIENT FILES ARE MAINTAINED TO RECORD PREFERENCE TO TYPE OF BOOKS, BOOK REQUESTS AND OTHER INFORMATION IN ORDER TO SERVICE EACH CLIENT INDIVIDUALLY. IN ADDITION, MANY SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS AND SENIOR CITIZEN FACILITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS USE THE SERVICES. THIS YEAR 46 MINI-SATELLITE LIBRARIES WERE SERVICED IN COLLABORATION WITH SENIOR HOMES AND 34 SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSES IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEMS. HOME DELIVERIES CONTINUE BY STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS USING PERSONAL DELIVERY VEHICLES. WHILE CLIENTS ARE MAINLY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, 30% OF THE RECORDED BOOKS ARE LOANED TO CLIENTS OUT-OF-STATE. THE LIONS CLUB'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE IS RECORDED AND SENT TO AN AVERAGE OF 90 BLIND MEMBERS OF LIONS CLUBS IN THE UNITED STATES, CANADA AND FOUR OTHER COUNTRIES. IN THIS FISCAL YEAR, THE VOLUNTEER VOICES ALSO RECORDED THE MANY COMMUNITY SERVICE MATERIALS FOR THE CITY OF SAN JOSE, THE COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA, VARIOUS COMMUNITY SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS AND ART AGENCIES FOR DISTRIBUTION TO BLIND AND DISABLED PERSONS. AND AVERAGE OF 61 VOLUNTEERS ASSIST THE STAFF EVERY MONTH WITH THE WORK OF THE PROGRAM, RANGING FROM CATALOGING, CIRCULATION, EDITING, REPAIR, MAILING AND MAKING LABELS IN BRAILLE FOR THE CASSETTES AND ALBUMS. AN AVERAGE OF 90 INDIVIDUALS RECORD TEH BOOKS, MAGAZINES AND CITY AND COUNTY INFORMATIONAL MATERIALS IN THE RECORDING BOOTH EVERY MONTH. PORTABLE TAPE PLAYERS ARE AVAILABLE TO LOAN TO CLIENTS. GOVERNMENT SUPPORT IS REALIZED BY THE PROVISIONS OF US PO FREE MATTER FOR THE BLIND MAILING AND THE USE OF OCCUPANCY AND DELIVERY BY THE SAN JOSE PUBLIC LIBRARY. THIS YEAR, THE "SIGHT & SOUND" PROJECT WAS ENLARGED DUE TO THE REQUESTS FROM PARENTS AND TEACHERS OF THE LEARNING DISABLED AND DISLEXIC STUDENTS. THE AUDIO BOOK ALONG WITH THE PRINTED BOOK IS SENT TO THIS CLASSIFICATION OF CLIENTS, THEREBY INCREASING THEIR ABILITY OF BECOMING "READERS." WE CURRENTLY HAVE OVER 1,200 KITS. DUE TO THE AVAILABILITY OF COMMERCIALLY RECORDED AUDIO BOOKS, WE NOW HAVE AN EVEN GREATER NUMBER OF TITLES FOR OUR DISABLED CLIENTS. COMMERCIALLY RECORDED BOOKS HAVE BEEN DONATED TO BOOKS ALOUD, WHICH IN TURN, ARE ASSEMBLED AND PLACED IN THE COLLECTION AND AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION TO OUR CLIENTS. THIS YEAR, WE PLACED MORE COMMERCIALLY RECORDED ALBUMS IN OUR COLLECTION. WE ARE CONTINUING OUR PILOT PROGRAM OF PROVIDING OUR RECORDED BOOKS ON THE NOOK COLOR TABLET AND PLACED THEM IN SPECIAL NEEDS CLASSROOMS. FEEDBACK FROM THE TEACHERS CONTINUES TO BE VERY ENCOURAGING AS THE STUDENTS ARE EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE CURRENT TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOMS.
