Books for Lectors

Rosa Mendes writes:

With reference to the Lectors at Mass by Sr. Manners it is mentioned that there are books and training for Lectors available. Could you please help me by telling me where this training is obtained? Also may I know the names of the book/books and where I can find them?

HSI replies:

There are several good books available for lectors such as Workbook for Lectors and Gospel Readers by Martin Connell; Read the Way You Talk: A Guide for Lectors by Jack Hartges; and Lector's Guide to Biblical Pronunciations by Joseph M. Staudacher. Training programs are available - or should be available - at most large parishes, though there is one by Michael Sparough called Lector Training Program: This is the Word of the Lord that you can do on your own. It comes with audio cassettes.
