April 2, 2021

This takes me back to my childhood! 


With one phone call, you can now experience the excitement of storytimes from Avondale Public Library, 24/7, over the phone.

The Avondale Library launched Dial-a-Story, a new storytime service that will offer everyone access to a free, weekly recorded storytime featuring expert children’s librarians, special guests, or specialty programming by phone. No apps or internet needed. Recordings will be released every week.

Dial 623-400-6321 to access a Kids Dial-a-story, phone line.

Dial 623-400-7885 to access the Senior storyline – featuring Golden Age Radio.

Each storytime will run between 5 and 15 minutes. The books used each week for the kids Dial-a-story will be selected from traditional stories, fairytales and recordings from live storytimes. There will be an English and Spanish selection each week.  The Senior storyline will feature episodes of golden radio shows such as the 1935 Flash Gordon.
