Print this Article | Send to Colleague
The mission of the Georgia Radio Reading Service (GaRRS) is to improve the quality of life for every Georgian who is blind, visually-impaired, or has difficulty with the printed word. Volunteer readers from across Georgia record approximately 200 different programs each month, including essential local information, local and national newspapers, popular books, and an array of magazines and quality-of-life programming.
Volunteers read a plethora of local newspapers from the Dublin Courier Herald to the Jackson Herald Today to the Atlanta Journal Constitution to the Elbertson Star to the Bainbridge Post Searchlight to the Quitman Free Press.
The programming is broadcast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and accessed by using an Amazon Alexa Dot, special radio, through our online webstream, by telephone, or by using a mobile app. Through these means we are able to provide our listeners with information, entertainment, and connections to their local communities.
Thanks to funds appropriated by the Georgia General Assembly, grants from several of Georgia's counties and donations from individuals and organizations, GaRRS is available at no cost to any Georgian who is print-impaired.
Please visit the GaRRS website for more information on how to take advantage of this valuable service.
