Volunteer readers are sought by the Indiana Reading and Information Service, operated out of the WFYI Teleplex in Indianapolis, and coordinated through Aging and Community Services of South Central Indiana in Columbus. Volunteers read and record sections from the Herald-Times newspaper via a toll-free number using the provided headset telephone. Volunteers are currently needed to read the front page section on Monday, Tuesday and Saturday or the sports page on Mondays and Fridays. The recording takes about 30 minutes one morning per week and is completed by 9 a.m. This service enables people with visual impairments or the inability to read to hear local news and information by simply dialing a toll-free number. Minimum age is 16. For more
