Leven River Parks Community Engagement Development Plan:
Say Hello to Ice Cream Architecture on 15th May and keep up to date
Below is a note from Ice Cream Architecture that explains what they will be doing over the coming months in Levenmouth and surrounding localities.
The River Parks Project is working to create an accessible, attractive, and biodiverse public park and active travel network for the local communities of Levenmouth. It is part of the wider Leven Programme of connected projects, to deliver environmental improvements for the river and the surrounding areas, making them great places to live, work and visit. Click here for more information about the Leven Programme
Ice Cream Architecture (ICA) is creating a Community Engagement Plan, which will be co-produced with the local community and ensure that key decisions are informed by the people who will use the Leven River Parks. As part of this, ICA will be facilitating a number of events and feedback sessions in the coming months, and they want to hear your thoughts.
Please leave your information here if you wish to hear more about opportunities and events happening to inform the Leven River Parks Community Engagement Plan.

More often than not, when it’s Sunday night after church is done, I usually catch up on some much-needed sleep! It helps to build my ideas. Shortly, I will produce a guide to help others maximise their return on their website investment.

LibriVox provides free audiobooks from the public domain. There are several options for listening. The first step is to get the mp3 or ogg files into your own computer
http://librivox.org/
LibriVox Objective
To make all books in the public domain available, for free, in audio format on the internet.
Our Fundamental Principles
- Librivox is a non-commercial, non-profit and ad-free project
- Librivox donates its recordings to the public domain
- Librivox is powered by volunteers
- Librivox maintains a loose and open structure
- Librivox welcomes all volunteers from across the globe, in all languages
More Information
What We Do
LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain, and then we release the audio files back onto the net for free. All our audio is in the public domain, so you may use it for whatever purpose you wish. Please note: Our readers are free to choose the books they wish to record. LibriVox sees itself as a library of audiobooks. Because the books we read are in the public domain, our readers and listeners should be aware that many of them are very old, and may contain language or express notions that are antiquated at best, offending at worst.
Volunteering for LibriVox is easy and does not require any experience with recording or audio engineering or acting or public speaking. All you need is a computer, a microphone, some free recording software, and your own voice. We accept all volunteers in all languages, with all kinds of accents. You’re welcome to volunteer to read any language you speak, as long as you can make yourself understood in it. You don’t need to audition, but we do suggest a 1-Minute Test recording just to check your setup. We’ll accept you no matter what you sound like.
We operate almost exclusively through Internet communications on our forum, where all your questions will be answered by our friendly community.
For more detailed information, see our FAQ.

Resources and Partners
We get most of our texts from Project Gutenberg, and the Internet Archive hosts our audio files (for free!).
In early 2010 we ran a fund-raising drive to raise $20,000 for our expenses for the next few years. In July 2013 we launched a new fund-raising drive with the goal of raising $50,000 for short and long term expenses. If you would like to help, please visit our Donate Page.

About Us
When we started LearnOutLoud.com back in 2005 our goal was to showcase the best audio & video learning content on the Web, and our mission hasn’t changed much. Since then we have grown alongside the vast expansion of audio & video learning on the Internet with the rising popularity of audio book downloads, podcasts, YouTube, free colleges courses, and many other great resources that have become available. We want LearnOutLoud.com to be your primary destination for audio & video learning on the Web.
We also want to help you turn your ‘dead time’ (time spent commuting, exercising, doing chores, etc.) into ‘learning time’. We are located in Los Angeles, California, an area of the country known for horrendous traffic and commute times, and we saw the need to help people turn this ‘dead time’ into a time for personal and professional development through audio learning. With the rapid growth of mobile technology from iPods and MP3 players to the iPhones and smart phones of today, learning on-the-go has never been easier, and we hope we can help you with finding the best resources for incorporating audio learning into your daily life.
Over the years we have curated a Catalog of over 50,000 of the best audio books, podcasts, free downloads, and videos you can learn from. One of the most popular sections of our site is our Free Audio & Video Directory which features over 10,000 free audio books, courses, documentaries, lectures, interviews, speeches, and more. We also have a Podcast Directory with over 7,000 carefully selected audio & video podcasts you can learn from. Along with these free sections we also feature over 30,000 educational Audio Book Downloads from all the major audio book publishers and a lot of smaller publishers and individual authors. Our Kids Audio Books Section features over 2,000 audio books, podcasts, and free videos for kids & teens to learn from.
On LearnOutLoud.com you can also find great content written about audio & video learning. BlogOutLoud is our audio and video learning blog which highlights the best of our website, along with the latest and greatest news from the world of audio and video learning. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we send out a Free Resource of the Day Email that you can subscribe to for some of the best free audio & video learning resources. Last but not least, you can browse our Featured Author Pages and our Audio & Video Learning Publisher Pages which provide information on the most popular authors and publishers on our site along with a listing of all of their titles.
We welcome you to contact us at any time with feedback, suggestions, inquiries, business opportunities, or anything else we can help you with. We’re here to serve. Keep letting us know what we can do to help you better utilize the power of audio and video learning in your life!

Note. I have added this site because it has “some” free audio books on it but it also seems to have links to other free media.
