Digital Discovery: Digital Storytime

Welcome to our new Digital Discovery series! Each month we'll be featuring online resources here on our website and on our socials. This month discover how to access digital resources that provide stories and storytimes to children. 

We all love books and reading, especially with our children, and with KCPL’s digital resources, you can always have a story in reach. It’s helpful to have several different formats and ways to read to your child.
