Dial-a-Story
Dial-a-Story is here! The Waukee Public Library is bringing story time straight to your home at a time that’s convenient for you and your family.
Simply call the new Dial-a-Story phone line at (515) 981-7800 any time to listen to a children’s story. Anyone can use this new service—whether or not they have library cards—so kids can hear stories read aloud.
The books featured on the Dial-a-Story line are selected from our collection and read aloud by library staff. New selections will be recorded twice each month for infants through elementary aged students.
Listening to stories has many literacy benefits, including vocabulary development, increased focus and attention span, and imagination skills. Kids may want to draw or color while listening, or just sit back and enjoy this screen-free story option.
If you find a story you love, feel free to place a hold on a print copy through the library catalog. You can find the current Dial-a-Story list of books on our website at waukeepubliclibrary.org/dial-story.
