Serving over 1,600 libraries across the country, L.A. Theatre Works’ Library Access national outreach program is integral to our mission to make great theatre available to the widest possible audience. Each year, enrolled libraries receive, free-of-charge, selections from L.A. Theatre Works’ Audio Theatre Collection of over 400 audio plays by top playwrights, performed by some of today’s most prominent and talented actors.  To qualify, a library must have a media budget under $3,000, serve a rural or underserved urban community, or have a dedicated program for the visually impaired.
 
Free promotional materials, such Public Service Announcements voiced by Edward Asner, Charlayne Woodard, and Dan Castelleneta (the voice of Homer Simpson) for broadcast on local radio stations and library display posters, are also provided to promote patronage of public libraries and assist with circulation of L.A. Theatre Works’ audio plays in our communities.
 
Enroll today for our 2010 Library Access program to bring the exciting experience of live theatre to your library, all free-of-charge! 

Funding for Library Access is provided in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and Sony Pictures.
