I just returned from a volunteer trip to schools using IIAB. As described in #93, I'm adding 3 issues

Librivox is a volunteer effort to make public domain audio recordings in multiple languages from public domain books. In 2010-2011, I found several stories to share with students in Uganda and Haiti. Audiobooks assist language learners and new readers. They also make it easy for one teacher with a computer to share and discuss a book with many students.

Adding a new category of content to IIAB is likely a larger effort than my other two issues. I'm a web developer and would be happy to research this further if there is interest

@mapmeld does librevox have an easy place to download the files in bulk? Looks like their hosted on archive.org.

New to this project so please forgive me if this has been covered already.

You can start at https://archive.org/details/librivoxaudio&tab=collection and scrap from that.

A while back I tossed together a script to help me in gettings whole collections from archive.org https://github.com/tomhiggins/ArchiveOrgCollectionGrabber

Hope that helps some.
