We are back with the 96th Librivox Short Story Collection. All stories were selected and read by Librivox volunteers. One of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's lesser known stories is joined by an amusing Mark Twain piece, a poignant story by Conrad Aiken, two stories by the under-rated Katherine Mansfield and 15 other short stories compiled for your enjoyment!

Hello! I would like to lend a hand (or a voice) but I'm not really sure how to do that. This is my first time on this website and I could use a helping hand, if you wouldn't mind :D

Hi and welcome to Librivox!
There are a few things to do before you get started.
You will need to complete a one minute test - this is to check your specs are up to Librivox standards, and if not, you'll be given hints on how to remedy that. http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/1-Minute_Test
Please post your test in the Listeners Wanted forum (see the dropdown at the bottom of the page) for the speediest response. Waiting for the OK may seem tedious, but can save time in the long run.
You will then be free to claim any sections you choose. The best places to look are “Readers Wanted” books, short works or plays. Many readers start with the weekly poetry in short works.
Please note that in these collections (there are several... non-fiction, children’s, sc-fi, horror) the reader finds their own public domain text and although you are welcome to do that, it might be easier to claim a section in a more formal project until you find your way around.

Readers find their own Public Domain texts... the best places to look are project Gutenberg or Hathi Trust.
