A banner reading “Lend Us Your Voice” hangs from the one-story brick building. Inside, volunteers read aloud textbooks in eight recording booths. In 1948, Anne T. MacDonald of the New York Public Library’s Women’s Auxiliary founded the program Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic to aid World War II veterans that were blinded or physically disabled and seeking an education but could not read Braille.
