Case Study: Audio Reading Service keeps audio news and information scheduling running smoothly with Teamup Calendar

How Teamup Helps Keep Audio Reading Service Afloat During COVID 19 and Impacts the Lives of Its Listeners

Audio Reading Service, a department of the Allen County Public Library providing free audio news to print-disabled individuals, faced a critical challenge when the COVID-19 pandemic made it unsafe for its 100+ volunteers to record in their studios. This occurred just as their listeners needed timely information the most. To continue operations, they needed a way to manage a new hybrid workflow integrating both remote and in-person volunteers seamlessly.

They implemented Teamup Calendar to create a dynamic, shared scheduling system. The solution allowed for color-coded categories to distinguish between remote and in-studio sessions and to block mandatory cleaning times. Teamup enabled easy, instant updates and rescheduling, providing volunteers with clear visibility into available slots and COVID-19 safety measures. This ensured the service continued with minimal interruption, projecting stability and confidence to the volunteers who make the vital service possible for listeners.
