The LibriVox site will be down on Monday, April 5th for an update to some underlying site software.
We expect the outage to last no more than 3 hours.

Scheduled start date and time: April 5, 2021 - 10:00 AM ET (14:00 GMT)
Scheduled end date and time: April 5, 2021 - 1:00 PM ET (17:00 GMT)

You may determine your local time for the outage HERE.

What you can do to prepare:

- Make note of what chapters/sections you have claimed
- Make note of the text sources
- Check the intro/outro wordings, in case they're not standard
Then you can record during the outage!

- Download as many files to PL as you can
- Make note of the text sources
- Check the intro/outro wordings, in case they're not standard
Then you can proof-listen during the outage!

I do not know if there will be updates during the course of the maintenance, but I'm sure announcements will be made on Twitter and Facebook when the site is back up (if you don't want to keep hitting Refresh). :)

It's starting.

Apparently the forum will remain up during this time, but the MWs won't be available.

Okay, things should be back to normal. If all went well, you shouldn't notice any changes. :)

Well, I feel a little lightheaded. Is that normal?
