LibraryCall

Throughout February, we’ve highlighted recordings from the Storytime Commons that celebrate influential African Americans.

We have some exciting news to share from Anita Gail Jones, one of our wonderful story contributors!

Anita’s debut novel, The Peach Seed, has been acquired by Henry Holt & Company and will be published on August 1, 2023.

Happy February! It’s Black History Month, which gives us another good reason to highlight the recordings in the LibraryCall catalog that celebrate influential African Americans and their stories.

This week we’ll draw your attention to Bessie Stringfield: Motorcycle Queen! by Lauren Kratz Prushko.

When you set up a Dial-A-Story service, you ensure more families in your community have easy access to engaging stories and a valuable library literacy program. 

Expand your reach and engagement by partnering with LibraryCall. 

We're always interested to see what's resonating with our library partners, so we took a look at the stories you shared last year to see what we could learn.

The LibraryCall stories most frequently scheduled last year were: 

Happy New Year, everyone!

The past year has been a time of growth and refinement for LibraryCall. From enhancing our stories to adding new services, 2022 was a year to remember.

From the entire team at LibraryCall (including our furry, story-inspiring companions), we're sending holiday cheer to you and your loved ones! Thank you for being with us in 2022, and we look forward to our continued partnership in the coming year.

We are pleased to announce the hiring of Lorena Romero to our content development team. Romero will serve as a Spanish Content Developer, producing original stories and translations in Spanish, as well as culturally relevant content for Hispanic/Latino/Latinx communities. 

Happy Election Day, library workers! 

Today we’d like to share our appreciation for all the extra work you do in election season to make certain all community members have access to voting materials, election information, ballot boxes, polling places, and fact checkers! Thank you for the critical role you and your library play in helping to ensure our democracy keeps working!!
