The Worcester Talking Book Library and the Worcester Public Library are bringing story time home to children, teens, and adults. The libraries have launched Dial-A-Story, a recorded service that offers stories, poems, and other content by phone any time of the day or night.

The service is simple to use and free to the public. Listeners can reach Dial-A-Story by calling 508-552-3456; then they just need to follow the prompts to choose which content they want to hear from their favorite WPL librarians. Content in Spanish is also available. The stories are updated on a monthly basis.
