The Eastern Area Radio Reading Service (EARRS) is this area's only radio reading service for the blind and print-impaired. It is a volunteer-run and contributor supported nonprofit organization.EARRS is dedicated to providing timely printed matter and consumer information to the blind, physically disabled, and visually disabled residents of the Cape Fear area. Our services are designed to help those individuals lead enriched, productive and independent lives.
Being uninformed is a serious handicap that hinders one's ability to make common everyday decisions, as well as informed decisions as citizens. Since 1999, EARRS has filled an information void among the blind and print-impaired population by offering a simple, cost-effective method of accessing printed news and information published in daily, weekly and monthly periodicals.
EARRS is the only service of its kind in the region providing free reading services to one of the community's most under-served citizen groups. The programming helps listeners by providing equal access to dated information, alleviating isolation and providing a vital social connection.
