If you’re looking to share one last Black History Month story with your community before the end of the month, check out our newly published recording by Lauren Kratz Prushko– Inventor Garrett Morgan: Champion of Safety! Garrett Morgan’s most famous inventions included the gas mask and three-way traffic lights, two technologies that have had an enormous influence on human health and safety. 

A young boy is reading a book and smiling. A thought bubble above him includes a photo of inventor Garrett Morgan and icons of a traffic light, gas mask, and light bulb.

Upcoming Events

We invite you to join us for an upcoming Dial-A-Story Chat event. In these casual forums, we will discuss ideas for optimizing your Dial-A-Story service to connect with as many community members as possible. Maybe you need advice about navigating the Storytime Commons or finding stories in languages other than English. Perhaps you’d like tips on recording your stories without that weird grainy sound in the background. Or maybe you have some great stories or ideas to share with your colleagues. Bring all your questions, tips, and ideas! A friendly LibraryCall Content Developer will facilitate.
