The Fairfax County library system has inaugurated “dial-a-story” service for children ages 3 to 5.
Local residents can call in and listen to stories read by county librarians. Stories are offered in both English and Spanish by calling (703) 246-2665.
“This service enables parents and caregivers who are limiting screen time or who don’t have access to the Internet” to participate in the Storytimes early-literacy initiative, county officials said.
