LibraryCall services have one thing in common - they enable libraries to deliver information and/or stories to patrons via phone (and online). Our goal is to provide tools that enable libraries to reach across the digital divide so that patrons with no broadband connection can enjoy the services provided by their library.

Service	Storytime Direct Deliver Dial-A-Story - without adding more work for staff. Storytime Direct We'll provide a local phone number that connects your patrons to our national "Story of the Week" storytime, available in both English and Spanish. Upload a custom welcome message that your callers will hear. Our "Story of the Week" changes every Monday and is guaranteed to be high-quality, respectful of all people, and age-appropriate for callers in the 3-10 year-old age range.	Dial-A-Story Studio Build your own custom Dial-A-Story programs. Dial-A-Story Studio We'll work with your library to build a custom combination of welcome messages, audio options, and pre-scheduled story selections so you can serve your community with the audio programming they need. Options include providing content in multiple languages or for different age groups delivered using one or more phone numbers.	Soundtrack Add an audio component to any self-guided or self-paced exhibit. Soundtrack Callers hear your recorded audio commentary via their phone while touring your exhibit. Audio can be delivered on-demand by pressing phone keys, or played on a timed schedule.	Resource Hotline Deliver info your community needs and trusts your library to provide. Resource Hotline Quickly set up information hotlines that provide up-to-date information about library operations or community services. You can easily provide information in multiple languages via pre-recorded messages and update them via our easy-to-use management app.
