Definitely! Thank you for joining us, Tara! By what name would you like to be credited as a Reader in the catalogue? It could be your forum name, or the name you'll be using in the recordings for the "Read by" part :D

Consider doing a test recording before the real one, to check that your recording settings are correct. It's best to have everything sorted out, before recording a long section only to discover something was wrong with the setting... Here's info on how to do this test https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=1-Minute_Test
